Help. My CDROM drive will not read any CD at all. It used to do it but
after my kid keeps on pushing the drive (to close it), not it cannot read.

When I look at System, the properties says the device is working properly.
I use the right click mouse to eject the drive, it will eject. In the
explorer or my computer, the CD drive is detected. But when you open it:
The drive is not ready.

I go to MSDOS window, it can go to d:\ but can do anything. If I type DIR
it says error reading drive and goes back to the D:\ prompt..

Pls help
