    Hello, Right click and uninstall theCD-ROM, DVD ROM driver in the device manager and restart the computer. The operating system would attempt to install the required driver automatically. If this does not happen, manually download and install the driver. If even replacing the driver does not fix it, get a technician to look for a hardware problem in the disk tray/lens. CD drive or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs

    check this site, you may need silver light installed.

    Hey, I enjoyed your question, I have worked as a technician most of my life, I hope I have helped you...
