DV6500 OPTICAL DRIVE NOT RECOGNIZED SPINNING

[ROBOTRAXX21]

Hello,
MY HP DV6500 NOTEBOOK RUNNING WINDOWS VISTA 32 BIT CD/DVD DRIVE DOES NOT SHOW UP IN SYSTEM DEVICES. THE DVD DRIVE AT TIMES GETS STUCK SPINNING WITH THE LIGHT ON SO I KNOW ITS GETTING POWER. IF I INSERT A CD OR DVD IT SAYS NO DISC INSERTED. PLEASE HELP.
