Recently my DVD drive has stopped working. When I plug my DVD drive to the power supply, it turns on and will eject or take discs, but it won't show up or load to the computer itself. When I plug it into the Motherboard, it stops working entirely. I'm sure I'm plugging it in right and completely (and in fact I've tried plugging it in multiple ways), but as soon as it's connected, it stops working. When it's disconnected? The light turns green and it starts up again.

What can I do to fix it?

I'm on a desktop with Windows XP, by the way.
