I have a DVD drive made by Top Glory Electronics and it is a model
DX-DVDR100. It reads DVDs and CDRW discs.

The problem I have with it is that when I insert a CD, it just revs up and
down and it won't display any of the files that are in it.

If anyone can help me resolve this problem, thanks in advance for your
help.

PS: If you need any info on my operating system, I have
Windows XP SP2, 735 mhz processor, 496mb RAM memory
 
the reving means it can't read the disc....so either the disc is bad or
your drive is dead/starting to die

Is it any CD or just CD-R discs. If the latter, then the CD laser has died.
Surprisingly, CD-RWs and CD-ROMs are generally read using the DVD laser.
