Check Device Manager and DELETE the CD-ROM and reboot.
It will be initialized again.

Possible help - applies to Vista

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929461/en-us
This also applies - delete the Upper and Lower Filters if still not working

Check the System Maker/CD-Rom Maker's site for a new driver
and/or BIOS. I would also remove and re-attach the CD-Rom
cables. You could have a bad CD-Rom.

Did you follow the tips on the other links and reboot?

You go to whoever made the system, motherboard, hard drive,
video card and other installed parts and look for drivers for
Vista and you model. Usually in their SUPPORT sections.
