Question : Problem: apple laptop not reading DVD's.

I have a 15" apple mac book pro.  It is refusing to recognize DVD's.  It will play Cd's without any problem but not DVD's.  Any body have any ideas.
Thanks.

Answer : Problem: apple laptop not reading DVD's.

There are two different lasers one for cd and one for dvd. You can lose either one in a failed drive. You probably got a MAC DVD install disk with your MBP. IF that is not readable as well I would lean towards hardware.
