No Communication with DVD

I have a Dell with Windows XP on it. It has 2 dvd's in it, that were working
fine, and then not. When I look in Device Manager the DVD's are there, but
are flagged yellow. They say that the drivers need to be updated. I have:

Updated both drivers
Replaced the cable
Connected the DVD's to IDE 1 with the HD
Put another CD player in on IDE 1 and 2

All CD's/DVD's do the same thing. They show up, but can't communicate.
Anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks for the help.
