Missing drive

[The Old Timer]

I made a DVD yesterday that played OK on the PC & a stand alone player.
Today when I put any DVD into the same burner nothing happens. When I go to
explorer & click open it says to put a disk into the drive when it's already
there. How do I fix this? I have had the problem before but can't recall
how to fix it

I should have said that the drive still plays CD's.
