You may want to try an OPTICAL LENS CLEANING KIT. If that doesn't help. go into your device manager and uninstall it from there and restart your PC. If this not fix it when windows automatically reinstalls it upon startup, open the PC case and check that the IDE and Power cables are properly connected to the back of the CD ROM drive. If still does not work, it may either be that your drive is dead and needs replacement or possibly windows needs a repair or reinstall of chipset/ide controller drivers.
