I have no idea what is going on with my CD drive. Discs that i have played
yesterday will now not play. I can here the disc spinning but nothing is
being read. If i play games that have been purchased it works fine. It is
only with CD-R discs.
Any help would be appreciated

I'm in the same boat. Bought a combo drive (CDRW/DVD), plays
everything except DVD's now. Installed another DVD drive I had on the
same system and the DVD's played fine. Back it goes.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->
