Sony Vaio Blu-ray Drive Burner is not reading DVDs

Questions: I have Sony VAIO laptop with blu-ray drive burner writer. From past few days my sony vaio blu-ray drive is not reading DVDs, but it is detecting all CDs. When i insert DVD, it is trying to read that DVD and it is on the same status but DVD is not getting detected. blu-ray drive burner is giving some sounds. I am not sure whether there is any problem with my DVD ROM or the drives in my system. I am using XP operating system. The blu-ray drive which i am using is working well in other systems.
Answers: go to device manager... control panel>system>hardware>device manager.
right click your dvd rom drive and click properties. somewhere in there you should have a region tab (if i remember correctly) set the region to US which should be a 1(may want to confirm the correct region code) and of course that is if you use US dvd's.
once iuninstalled, you should be able to right click anywhere in the device manager window and click "scan for hardware changes"
Failing that, you should be able to install from "add new hardware" in controll panel, or failing that still, simply reboot.
