Isolate the Microsoft OS if you feel it lies.
Boot a DOS disc that loads cd drivers and try to read from
it.. or try booting the Windows installation disc.
 
well i've tried all kinds of discs even the driver disc installer tha
came with my computer, but it won't read it either. Is there anythin
else that might be able to help? :

If it won't read outside of windows OS, you might try
blowing it out with compressed air, or if you're a glutton
for punishment then take it apart and generously flush the
lens with a stream of pure alcohol. This of course assumed
you did check the jumpers, cables, voltages, already.
 
soundz like a plan, i'll give it a shot and hopefully it will make i
work. Thanks again for the info, i appreciate it. :
