Simple things to try.

First, make sure the drive is connected. By chance you may have slightly loosened the connector cable.
Second, check if it is a listed hardware Start Menu > Right Click on "My Computer" > Properties > Hardware Tab > Device Manager Button. Double click DVD/CD Rom listing and see if the drive is listed. If it is, uninstall it anyway.
Third, go to Start Menu > click on Control Panel > Switch to Classic View (on the left side) > Click on Add Hardware. Follow the instructions from there.
I hope this helps out.
