Hi, to reinstall the driver for it do this:

1) Right click on My Computer and click Properties.
2) Click on the Hardware tab.
3) Click Device Manager.
4) Find your CD-ROM Drive in that list (it should have a yellow exclamation point by it)
5) Right click it and click Update Driver.

Hope this helps,
Adam
