Default DVD drive will not read DVD

I can no longer read a dvd in my dvd writer. it will read cd's I have tried 2
different DVD Drives and they work in another computer. I am running win xp
sp3.
I have tried the remove upper and lower filter fix and that didn't help.
I get no errors in the event viewer.

Replace the defective hardware.

It is likely something has gone wrong with just the laser that reads DVDs -
maybe out of alignment..

I put them in another computer and they work fine.

Just not in this computer. I have 2 drives and they both stoped reading on
the same day.

If they work in another computer, then it is your hardware - and not
the OS. Hence your post does not belong here.
