Actually, my case --
"the DVD drive won't recognize that there is a disc in the drive"
is quite common like
http://club.cdfreaks.com/showthread.php?t=148307
or
http://www.digit-life.com/forum/0003/000237-2.html

No one can solve their problems, but I know what's going on!
It is quite possible that the motherboard ODD(DVD)
Firmware need to be updated.

My DVD("SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-612") worked fine under
Windows XP and its SP1 but
"the DVD drive won't recognize that there is a disc in the drive"
since Windows XP Service Pack 2 had been installed.

(There is only one Driver associated with this DVD, so there is no way
I can roll back driver and SAMSUNG ODD Firmware LiveUpdate did not
support this product but it worked for original Windows XP and SP1.)

Let me list the detailed cue below:

The Driver files
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\cdrom.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\imapi.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\redbook.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\storprop.dll

Associated with the DVD/CD-ROM drivers
(You can check them from "Driver Details..." button at Driver tab under
"SAMSUNG DVD-ROM SD-612" Properties from Device Manager)
had been updated as
5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158)
By
Windows XP Service Pack 2
(Monday, September 13, 2004 Windows Update)

I guess that (xpsp_sp2_rtm.040803-2158) refered date 08/03/2004

Do you have any way to rollback those 4 Microsoft driver files and
keep Windows XP Service Pack 2
or any other solution to avoid :
"Please insert a disk into drive D:"(deive D: is my DVD)
when I click on drive D:
or
it showed "the device is not ready." when I typed "dir d:"
at CMD prompt(I do have inserted CD in the drive).

I guess this is really an XP problem rather than a Media Center problem, so
you might get more luck using that forum?

I take it the drive won't work, either in MCE or with any other burning
program (eg Nero). And you can't read the disk either?

I guess you have seen this -

I think if it was me, I'd probably buy a new DVD drive.
