CD/DVD Drive can't read any disks

I have a LiteOn CD/DVD drive that can't read data off of disks. Usually it reconizes the disk, and usually I can see all the files on the disk. However, if I try to play an audio file, it says it's not valid, if I try to install a program, it says it's not a valid win32 application.

The disks work fine on another computer
The drive works find in another computer
The drive stopped worked after my OS was reinstalled
I've unplugged and replugged the cables

Yes still, I'm having the errors, does anybody have any clude what the problem might be?

 

did u check device manager?

 

It's there.

 

what r your system specs?

 

XP SP3
504MB RAM
AMD Athlon 1.40 GHz

Need anything else?

 

this is the player that came with the pc? if so do u have the disk for pc?

 

It didn't come with the PC, this one is a different one. The one that came with the PC no longer fits because the power supply had to be replaced, and so the original is too long. Also, it was just a CD player, not a CD/DVD player.

FYI, my computer is a HP Pavillion 322n
CD/DVD drive is: LiteOn 20X

did the new drive come with softwARE?

 

No, but I have updated the drive from the internet, still didn't do anything.

 

Done that one a couple times. Nope, no error marks by it or anything.

Could this possibly be something wrong with the cables Or MB?

 

I've tried the device manger thing already, id didn't help.

Sadly, I don't have any spare IDE cables. I'm going to let my bro look at it, and he should be able to figure it out. I'll post back what was wrong if he figures it out.

 

My brother tested the CD/DVD drive, and it works fine in other computer, also, other drives work fine in my computer. So now I have a new drive. Also, I have no clue what the problem was, and neither does he.

Thanks for all the help!
