Hi Tony,

For the former:

Save the file below to your hard drive. Navigate to where you saved it and
double click the file. A confirmation dialog will appear when the script is
done. You may need to reboot for the change to take effect.

Restore CD/DVD in Explorer

For the latter:

Scan for hardware changes via the Device Manager and/or reinstall it.

Good luck!
