    Concerning the Latitude D630:

    The optical drive failed. CD/DVD could be inserted but data was not read or recognized. When I access the device manager, it says the drive is working properly and in the icon try it asks if I want to remove the drive.

    Any suggestions as to where I am going wrong?

    The optical drive reads the disc and displays the label, but doesn't let you open it or access any data? Am I getting that right? Or is the drive refusing to recognize the media per se?

    I had that problem as well. I had to have the drive replaced.

    Well, the computer recognizes that the drive is there(it appears in the device manager and in the icon tray to be removed) but when I put any type of CD in the drive, the computer will not recongnize the data on the disc.
