Can't read any DVD, and can't mount the dvd drive

[Ashley Benton]

No I didn't created anything, they were here. Apparently my dvd drive
stopped recognizing the dvd a few days ago. I guess after one update but I
have no idea which one. The computer still recognize the cd in the other
drive and my second computer doesn't have the problem with the dvds. On this
computer, when I insert a dvd I see a green light and nothing happens.
Thanks
Meg
