How to confirm a CD drive is defective

After you place a CD in the drive the light on the drive blinks and the hard drive light blinks. After 10 seconds the lights stop blinking. No response. When you go to My Computer and click on the drive icon it says Insert a disk in drive D. The second drive E: works fine.

I've uninstalled the device driver in the device manager. Then add new hardware which identifies the drive and says it is working fine.
