I put the disc in only to notice that it switched from being a dvd+rw drive to a cd drive... yet still says that theres a dvd in there, could i possibly have a wrong driver installed?

Unlikely, Windows handles DVD/CD drivers really well.

Try running Start -> Run -> sfc /scannow
You'll need your windows cd.

Since I have to reinstall everything I tried installing the sims 2, since none of the discs are dvds... and it works perfectly, does this mean i need a new dvd rom drive?
