Computer help! DVD-RW drive broked

[Matt Mortem]

Ok so I have a Compaq Presario 061 PC and recently the disk drive stopped reading DVD's. It still reads CD's and CD-Rom's fine, just not DVD's. The model number, or type, of drive is: HL-DT-ST DVDRW GSA-H21L. Does anybody know how to fix this so I can use my DVD drive properly? I just payed 60 bucks for a program that came on a DVD so I can't use it until this error is fixed and I don't know where to begin.

Thanks Kane. I'll have to give this a shot. I was hoping I wouldn't have to open up my Computer case but it's looking like I'll have to afterall
