My DVD player (dvd disk drive sorry not the player i don't get as far as the player, I put a disk in and get nothing) no longer recognises DVD's/CD'S when I put them in however it used to until I started messing to try and get blueray to work. However I've not accomplished getting blueray to work either. Now I know my DVD player works as I still have XP on another hard drive in my pc and it works fine on that.

So if anyone has more knowledge than me I would love you to pass some of it this way so I can sort out my ubuntu.
