My DVD/CD drive on my laptop is not working?

I have an HP Pavilion dv9000, and my disc drive was working fine up until a couple days ago. It is no longer reading anything, and is not being recognized as even existing by my computer. It opens and closes fine, but the computer doesn't register anything.

I ran Microsoft Automated Troubleshooting, and it tells me that the drive is not detected and that the drive is missing or disconnected. As far as I know, I have not done anything which would cause this... Suggestions?
