Check If its Disables from the BIOS.\nIt can also be disabled by windows so go to control panel > system > hardware >device manager > +(on the DVDROM)> if something is present double click and select "use this device(enabled)"\nYour IDE cord could also be deattached.

You definitely need a driver to start with, otherwise even your laptop recognize it you cannot install it.\ngo to search the external dvd drive manufacturer site and look for the latest driver of your laptop windows version, install it first, then check the cable see if it still good, otherwise replace it.\nif no dvd drive manufacturer site/not providing old driver, try this driver archive site\nhttp://www.driverguide.com\nGood luck.

Are you sure it's a DVD Rom?\n\nHas it played DVD's before?\n\nTry re-installing the software.

if you are so inclined, you can physically remove it from your PC, then reboot your PC.  When windows starts up again, check to see that the hardware is gone.\nshut down\nReinstall the hardware, \nreinstall the driver\nif that doesn't work, you probably need to replace the DVD drive.

Save it as a movie (avi) file, and if your dvd can play avi files you should have solved the problem\n\nif your dvd cant play avi files, save it as mpeg and use a cd burning software to make a VCD that most dvd players can play.

Well,\n\nFirst by ROM i assume you mean either a hard drive or a CD/DVD ROM drive, to see if the drive is installed properly go to:\nStart --> Control panel (If in XP view select performance and maintenance)--> System, click on the hardware tab, the click Device Manager. Expand the category that matches your drive if you do not see it there then you have to reinstall the hardware.\n\nHowever if you Do see it there then do the following:\n\nStart --> Control panel (If in XP view select performance and maintains) --> Then select Administrative tools --> Computer management.\n\nOnce in computer management select Disk management. \n\nIn this view you will be able to see all your hard drives and CD/DVD drives or any type of storage* hardware. \n\nThe problem might be that there is no letter assignment for the drive, simply select that drive and change the letter, that should fix your problem.

check the ribbon cable on both sides of the cd rom..the back and the board...the cable is probably loose

This is Yahoo Answers, not Yahoo sermons, thanks. It's more likely you have the region settings for your dvd player wrong than that god has smote your laptop. A lot more likely... It's also possible that the DVD has copy protections and wont allow itself to play on a dvd rom, only a dvd player. You'd need some program to bypass the protections in that case.

It is more likely your video card is old. Older video card can't play DVD on computer. If this is the case, then you have to get a newer video card.

First make sure that the drive is pinned correctly on the back - if you have two drives hooked up to the ribbon cable it's set to either master or slave, master for the the end of the cable, slave for the middle. You may also want to try the Cable Select (although generally for legacy compatibility) option. Since you said it shows up correctly in the bios those settings may not be the issue, but are something to consider.\n\nAlso, you'll want to check that it shows up in the device manager. Like Dusty said, check to see if it just needs a driver installed (although I've yet to see a cd rom drive that needs actual hardware drivers for even basic functionality).\n\nMy hunch is that the drive is bad. I've had it happen before where I've had a bad drive show up in the bios and not function properly in windows. The easiest way to check this is to plug it into another computer and see if the drive works in that computer.
