HI Omak2008 and welcome to Vista Forums,
Try this right click on my computer and select Manage then click on device manager, have a look if you can find DVD/CD-ROM drives in the list and check that it is working and that the drivers are installed correctly. If they are try right click on it and then uninstall, reboot the computer and let windows reinstall the hardware and see if that works. If you cant see a DVD/CD-ROM in device manager you may have a faulty drive or maybe a loose connection.
Hope this helps!
