Its a dell that i got in '03 and i have tried to put different dvd's in but it wont even recognize that there is a disk in there. Do i need to take this in?

Look up your Dell Service Tag # on support.dell.com. Look for a utility called "Dell Diagonistics" under Systems & Downloads. Download it, put it on a floppy, reboot, run it. Contains tests for testing your drive and will determine if its faulty.
