Have an IBM Thinkcentre S51 whose CD drive stopped working. Doesn't show in mycomputer menu, but does show in Device Manger as if the driver is not working or is not installed. Swapped out with another CD drive and it acts the same (deleting and reloading new driver does not work). Tried the CD drive with an external enclosure via USB and same thing happens. Tried CD drive via external enclosure in another ThinkCenter S51 and it works.

Does this sound like a hardware or software problem and if a hardware problem, how do I diagnose?

Thanks.
