My Dvd/cd drive just up and stopped working, i uninstalled the drive and reinstalled it, the thing won't open or read disks. I carry my computer around alot (desktop) could I have damaged it?

Optical drives aren't exactly robust when it comes to physical durability. There's a small hole on the front of the drive, right below the tray somewhere. Straighten a paperclip and stick it straight into that hole. That''ll pop the tray open. If there's a disc stuck in it at least you can get it back.
Optical drives are cheap. Newegg.com always has a couple drives for under $30 shipped. Sounds like it may be time for a new drive for ya.
Give us an update on what's happening with your drive.

Yes, they are pretty easy to damage. Especially with an Aluminum case.
