It worked fine before, we have only had the computer for a year and a half, it is an HP. But it just stopped reading discs, I put in a disc and it says the drive is empty, I can't install any of the software I need for school or my printer. I did the troubleshooting and unplugged the drive itself then plugged it back in. If anyone has any advice on what to do it would be much appreciated. We don't have the money at the present moment to get a new computer or CD drive so that is pretty much not an option right now.
