#1 is it plugged into the power source? #2 your dvd-rw may be broken. If it isn't either of those two my best guess is that you will have to update your BIOS, but do not do when you are logged into Windows. Be extremely careful when doing this. This is exactly what made me have to buy a new motherboard!
