My acer laptop doesnt recognise that i have put a disc in , so when i go into 'my computer' and double click on the 'DVD RW drive (D)' a box pops up and tells me to insert a disc , even though one is already in it. I am wondering if i have deleted any files that could cause this .

It is unlikely that you have managed to delete a program causing the disc not to be recognised.

My bet would be that there is a fault with the disc drive – quite probably the laser module. Beg, borrow or steal an external disc-drive and try that. If you must have an optical drive on your laptop, it may be cheaper to use a USB connected drive, compared with the purchase price of a replacement drive.

Thanks hymie for yr ans , gives me food for thought.
You could consider a replacement via ebay, if you are sure that what is being offered is compatible with your laptop.
