I have an Acer Extensa 5420 with a DVD-RW disk drive that I bought about 5 months ago. Whenever I try to pop in a DVD movie, the drive fails to detect the disk. It makes that whirring sound like it is trying to read it, but its shuts down about 5 seconds later. What I want to know is can my Laptop view DVD Movies or am I only able to burn to disks. Any help or answers would be greatly appreciated

So do I need to take the laptop in to be looked at? Or is there something I can do to check the drive
