Go into Device Manager and remove your DVD-ROM and reboot and let windows install it again. Or just reinstall winblows that always does the trick ;-)

go to Start-> Control Panel-> System-> Hardware-> Device Manager. locate your drive, uninstall it, and reboot your computer. let windows locate and reinstall your drive and see if that fixes it.
