iBook doesn't recognize DVD drive, discs etc...

I have an ibook, 2 years old, and all the sudden the laptop does not recognize that I even have a dvd drive. I slide a cd, dvd into the drive and nothing comes up, not iTunes, not the dvd screen, no icon on the desktop, I cant even eject without turning off the laptop, then restarting with the clicker depressed, that ejects the disc.



I live out on a very isolated island in the Bahamas, San Salvador, so resources are severely limited, i.e. there are onl 500 people on the island, and no tech support! I use the dvd drive primarily for Rosetta Stone. Yes, the commercials got me, but in fact it is a great program that does really work, if: you use it frequently, and, get to use the language you are learning on a daily basis as well.

And now I can not learn the language French by the way. And I need to for work.



Any ideas??



Thank you



John
