Hmmm... I would of suggested that the drive is faulty, but you say it worked fine before. It could be coincidence or if you moved the drive with a cd in there that could of caused problems. Are you sure all the cabling is plugged in nice and tight? I wonder if it didn't automatically install correctly. All the options I know for your problem are here...

1. Uninstall the drive through the Device Manager

• Click Start (in Vista/7 Click Windows Orb)
• Right Click My Computer
• Select Properties
• Click on the Hardware Tab (In Vista/7 click Device Manager in top left corner)
• Click Device Manager
• Expand DVD/CD-ROM drives
• Right click your drive
• Select Uninstall (see image below)
• Restart your computer

The drive will automatically be reinstalled



OR...

2. Go to Microsoft's Fix

• Choose your Operating System's fix
• A restart is required

OR...

3. Download Restore Missing CD Drive patch

• Double Click cdgone.zip to unzip it(extract all files)
• Right Click cdgone.reg
• Click Merge
• Accept the registry merge
• Restart your computer

OR...

4. Go to the Device Manager (similar to option 1 above)

• Expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers.
• You'll see two items:
  - ATA Channel0 (or Primary Channel)
  - ATA Channel1 (or Secondary Channel)
• Right click on each of them
• Select Uninstall
• Confirm it
• Restart your computer

They'll automatically be reinstalled.

If none of that works, I would suspect a bad drive.
