I have done everything that I can think of, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the drives, updated the drives, and scanned for viruses. I have a very good feeling that it is not hardware related because it is showing that it is fine in the device manager. And it is not that a certain program isn't showing the disks it is any program with a dvd player on it. And by the way it is Windows Vista, which is also completely up to date as well.
