There would be no point in making a consumer DVD burning drive that cannot read discs like a regular drive.
Typically a drive marked as being a 'CD' or a 'CD RW' drive, will not be able to read a DVD. You will need one marked as being at least a 'DVD' drive, which will be able to read DVDs and CDs too.
It is a CD, DVD, Blue Ray, CDR, CDi, CDRW, DVDRW, MP3, MP4, or any of a dozen other varieties of laser data readers.

Reading is the lowest power requirement for the optical drive. Buring uses the maximum power requirement. If it can read CDs but not DVDs, pleas reinstall the codecs (by installing powerdvd or VLC). If it can't even read CDs, you may need to flash the firmware on the drive. Please go to device manager (right click my computer, choose properties, click on the hard ware tab, and choose device manager) and check the model for the DVDRW drive. You should be able to find firmware based on that model number.
