CD & DVD will not swallow disks

Neither of my two drives will take in any CD or disc. They both just eject
the tray after a few seconds of activity, without reading anything (so far as
I can tell).

Has anyone any idea why they might be behaving like this?

Hardware problem seems the most likely cause.

Try uninstalling the secondary ide controller and let windows find it again.

Seems v strange that both drives should do the exact same behaviour unless its a software cause ? Tried re-installing the 2dy IDE controller - same problem. If it is hardware, what might it be?

Tried that none. See above. I suspect a registry cause as they are
different manfacturers drives - 1 Liteon 1 Mitsubishi. The system seems to
be recognising the drives as the cursor changes to a CD very breifly after
one is put in, but then the tray spits it out again after a few seconds.
Happens regardless of type of CD (audio, data etc.)
