OK, do the following.
  • Go to Device Manager and expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers category.

  • Right-click on each of the listed devices and select the Properties option.

  • Switch to the Advanced Settings tab (if present) and see which one says ATAPI CD-ROM or something similar.

  • Do this for all other present IDE controllers and uninstall the ones which are related to your CD / DVD drive.

  • Reboot the computer.

Does your CD / DVD drive work now?
