Computer/vista wont recognize cd drive?

After uninstalling Daemon Tools (a virtual drive program) my computer won't recognize my cd drive. It won't show up in device manager or under my computer. I have tried deleting the upper and lower filters in the registry, i've reinstalled the drivers, i've tried to add it as new hardware , I've ran Microsoft's solution center stuff and it still won't work. Any ideas guys?

    Turn off PC/laptop.

    Disconnect CD/DVD drive, turn PC/laptop on, allow to boot fully, then off again.

    Re-connect CD/DVD drive and turn on.

    Windows will re-build the drivers or start the 'Found new hardware wizard'.
