My laptop wont recognise any disk i put in, when i go to my computer nothing is there.

any advice ?

Presumably you mean CD's or DVD's?

When you click on "My Computer" or "Computer" depending on which Windows your running can you see your CD/DVD drive listed with a letter assigned (E.g. DVD-RW (E:\))?

no nothing at all there, just the hard drives

any help would greatly be appreciated

Is the BIOS recognising the drive?

BIOS???

All about the BIOS

thanks, il try and sort it

Sounds like you need a new optical drive.

how much will that cost ?

Depends on what you've got. Can you post the Manufacturer and Model Number of the laptop? There should be a white sticker somewhere underneath with the details.

disable the drive and restart then enable it again.

Have you installed anything recently. I installed a TV stick that had a bug in Vista where the CD drive disappeared.
