Go into the control panel
click on the system icon
go to the hardware tab
open the device manager
look for the dvd/cd-rom drive section
click on the little + in front of the section
should expand and show any installed cd drives
right click on the cd drive and uninstall it
reboot
it should detect and reinstall the drive

you didn't say what windows program you are using. The easiest solution is to remove the driver in the control panel for the CD reboot machine and when it boots up it will find the new hardware and install the driver for it. If it is special software dedicated for your specific CD R/W you will need your manufacturers disc to install the drivers. Another route, you might just try to reinstall the driver by using add hardware program in the control panel to reinstall the CD.

If your computer hangs or reboots while you are working on it , it could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new softwares, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes. Detailed instructions at http://tinyurl.com/yk5zpr

hi, there might be a conflict on the software and your hardware. try to check the bios. if the hardware is detected in there. theres really no prob in your hardware. try to uninstall the software you intalled. then check if your cd will work.
