If your CD Drive isn't reading CDs or you feel it was a software malfunction and the hardware itself isn't damaged, and this happened randomly (or after a Vista update), just use System Restore to restore back before that date. (You may need to reinstall your Linksys drivers)

the most basic way to test that its a software problem for a CD/DVD drive is to insert a bootable CD and boot with it, if it doesnt read/boot...then its most definitely a hardware prob

If you want your router to be over 9000 times better, flash it with dd-wrt firmware rather than the default linksys crap :p.

I dont think you should give this advise to a noob. They may end up bricking their router.
