Uninstall the CD Drive from the Device Manager and restart the computer or
search for hardware changes in the computer name of the Device Manager. To
me a restart is more reliable. Wait a couple of minutes for the drive to be
reinstalled by the Plug and Play service. If that doesn't help, see if the
BIOS detects it and configure it as needed.
