Guys my laptop doesn't recognise cd/dvds

[me003]

It's been like this for a while and I can still burn CD's, but sometimes in itunes it will flash Cd burner software unable to be found" or something along the lines.
I've been looking for a solution, and was found that I should check to see if it's there in my BIOS, don't know how to do that but that's where I'm headed, wish me luck.  
But right now I just poped a burned cd that I bought in and it won't find it.

Clicking on H: just does nothing. It shows the little load sign for a second and then nothing comes up.

Are you sure it's not just a bad CD/DVD?

[don't let's]

My old laptop doesn't either, but it also doesn't even recognize the drive. Although it still gets power to it and can open and close.

My parents PC did this. I had to delete then add something in the registry. Hold on I know I have the link bookmarked somewhere.

Yes, it's done it to multiple CD's DVD.
