Try updating the firmware. I think I found the right drive. Check it first but I think its right. This should help. http://www.liteonamericas.com/us/download.htm

that firmware (if I'm reading it right) is to correct the problem of the drive not reading a dvd. My drive can read & record dvd's, it just can't "see" any (blank or recorded) cd's.

I would try the firmware update but also have you tried a different brand of cd's? Does the drive read game or application cd's like installing programs?
