OK, so at one point it WAS working and now it isn't? Have you made any hardware changes recently like adding a new hard drive, or another optical drive?

yes correct........the only thing new is a hd and its sata thats about it.....to install my games i hade to turn the comp off unplug the power to the cd drive and plug it back in, but i got tired of taking off the side panel sometimes it wouldnt work if i did that..
