my cd rom and my cdrw are hooked up, and when i go to device manager they are both said to be working correctly, but...Neither work at all. They are detected, but wont allow a disk to spin up and start. If i go to RUN and try to run my E or F drive, it says that the device is not ready. Any ideas of how to fix????

Make sure the configuation is right make sure you install the software that comes with the the cd-rom and the cdrw then make sure the power is connected and see if the drivers are correct.
