I put a cd in the cd drive, and it didn't load so i double clicked the drive
to open and it says "please insert disk into drive". The managers say the
device is working fine, and just a few hours before the drive would read
cd's. Now it wont read any cd, but I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers
and it still is broken.
Thanks very much for helping me.

Can you boot from the CD using, say, your XP CD? (even if you don't do
anything after booting)
It may just be dead or dying.
