Hi, I've been having this problem with my dvd rom drive.
I can play some games fine, like Sims 2, but I can't play Sims 3 or Silent hill 4...

When I put the disk in the drive, it doesn't load. The green light stays on for a while, then disappears. When I go to My computer and double click on the drive it says "Please insert a disk into drive E" but it's in there...

I'm not sure about Sims 3, but I do know that my computer can handle Silent Hill 4, because I played it before (a downloaded version), so I don't think it's my graphic card.

This is my drive:
HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8162B
16X MAX SPEED

Do I need a better one?

First of all, see if those disks, which don't work on your computer will work on another computer.

That might take me a while...and I don't think it's the disks themselves but ok...Thanks for your help.

Let us know.

Isn't there anything else you can tell me? I know it's not the disks...

When optical drive starts to be picky, in most cases, it means, it's dying, that's why I wanted you to check those disks in another computer.
