DVD-writer no longer reads disks!

My LG-4081B dvd/cd writer was working perfectly fine until 3 days ago. I
noticed at that time that a used memorex cd-rw I placed into the drive kept
spinning for alot longer than usual then finally stopped.When I opened up Win
Explorer and clicked on the D drive to view the disk contents a "Please
insert a disk into the drive" window appeared even though a disk was already
in the burner! I proceeded to insert other types of cd's and dvd's and each
time the burner would spin for a while then stop. I Click on D: in Win
explorer and same error message appears (Please insert disk) even though the
burner has a disk in it. Nero recognizes the dvd-writer as do other burning
programs I have tried.The burner is listed as operating properly in device
manager.
I should mention that at the time the problem started I had successfully
installed (then uninstalled) Adaptec ASPI drivers for one of the burning
programs I was using and have since uinstalled.I wonder if somehow this
screwed up my registry. Can anyone out there help me out with this dilema
that I have gotten myself into....
