i got a dell inspiron 1545 laptop a few weeks ago, and its been good up until now. But now, when I put a cd into my combo cd/dvd drive, nothing happens, and eventually, it is read as a blank dvd. When i put a dvd in, everything is fine. I can't think of anything i may have installed that harmed the system in this way. If anyone could help me fix this problem, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

If this is a Dell Laptop only a few weeks old, the intelligent thing to do is call Dell and ask THEM what is wrong with your brand new laptop....I would think.
