    Welcome to Windrivers mindvoid20

    DVD and CD drives use the same drivers as the hard drives. So did you install the chipset drivers for the Dell?

    What DVD playing software are you using?
    By cds do you mean music cds?
    Does it read data cds or dvds?
    Can you right click and explore and see the file names on any disk you put in it?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Well it certainly wont play dvd's unless you install some software like windvd or powerdvd.
    If you need to use the burning function that also requires some software
    like Nero or imgburn or somesuch
    Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3
    AMD FX 8350 4ghz OCTO-Core
    Windows 8.1 PRO 64
    Adata 256 gig SSD
    Kingston HyperX 1600 16 Gigs
    Sapphire R9 280 2gig
