I am unable to read or write DVD/CD (accessing data,burning an OS,etc.) through my DVD writers in Windows 7.
What is the problem????

Unable to write DVD or CD through DVD writers in Windows
Which OS are you not able to read/write the optical media in(you forgot to mention it 
). If another Windows OS, just make sure that the optical drive isn't disabled via device manager.

Open your cabinet and re-attach the sata cables.

Windows 7 Professional(64-bit)

Sata cables are tightly attached.
Probably a dead drive then if you've already tried. Trying a different SATA cable may help but there's a good chance the drive is dead(especially if it's old now)

You should check if the discs are spinning. If they arent your drive's probably gone.
See whether there is a read sign (blinking light in Drive) while rebooting.
How old is the DVD Drive?
my very old Sony Drive died months ago....making loud noise on boot

Thanks all of you @TDF,Friends.
But both of my DVD-writers are running fine.All cables (sata-2type) and power ones are completely attached tight.
It was a Windows 7 error,that made the drives inaccessible. Issues ironed out.
Now every drive is running normal.

How exactly did you fix it? Post it here, it may be of use to someone else with similar problem.
^believe me,just ran sfc /scannow,and the problem got resolved. Software problem only,no hardware issues as such.
I do believe you mate, I just asked you post the solution, that's it. Glad your problem is solved.
It was related to updates issues of Windows,perhaps.Because Windows failed to update message was shown post update process.
In case of non-functioning of DVD-writers, no BSOD nor any pop up error messages were shown.
Strange and odd.
