my CD/DVD drive stopped reading the dvds except audio cds.
What could be the possible reasons/causes,or how can i at least identify
what the problem is? Can anyone help?

Thanks,

If the drive is not reading any Dvd including commercial disks then it's
very possible the drive is flaky. I would try a Dvd lense cleaner and if no
help I would look into purchasing
a new one. I paid about $ 22 for my cd/dvd drive just a few months ago.
