My Cd-r drive isn't working. Does this have anything to do with a trojan on my computer?

I've been struggling to get a trojan off my computer. a few days ago I noticed that my cd-rom drive isn't working. Could these two be related? Any advice about how to get the cd-rom working again? I can hear it load a cd but mycomputer isn't recognizing the disks.

    Well since I'm no expert but i have had experiences with Trojans. I would say no but the Trojan may have messed with your hardware do a scan to see if you need hardware updates for your CD ROM drive that may clear up the problem.
