The damn dvd just spins and makes a weird noise in my drive! Ive tried 4 different dvdrw's and nothing...the computer doesn't even show its there...any ideas?

Have you tried burning a different DVD-RW disk of a different brand? Does
your burner support DVD-RW? Have you tried burning a DVD-RW of the same brand?

If the answer is yes to all of the above, and you received no issues with
the above, you have a bad disk

Hm, now that i think i burn dvdr's all the time, but in the front of the drive it says RW/DVD+R DL.

Here is the drive

There is a firmware update, ill add that and let you know!

The update was good, but the drive still doesn't read the dvd's....

edit

Apparently since im booting in AHCI mode those features only work in IDE mode, but when u change my bios settings i get the bsod...ideas?

Could be your drive is going bad.

the drive is solid, i read more into it, its AHCI setting in my bios, but when i go to IDE for SATA devices, upon boot i get BSOD...anyone know how to fix this issue?

Seriously, often times the only reliable fix is to reinstall the OS.
