If you loose your CD / DVD drive or drive in My Computer this link has a possible fix.
1. Click Start / Windows Button.
2. Type regedit, and then press enter.
3. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/{4d36e965-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
The screen should look something like this.

4. On the File menu, click Export.
5. In the File name box, type savedkey, and then click Save.
6. Click the REG_MULTI_SZ data type UpperFilters, and then click Delete on the Edit menu. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
7. Click the REG_MULTI_SZ data type LowerFilters, and then click Delete on the Edit menu. When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click Yes.
8. Quit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.
(steps 6 and 7, normally you will only have an upper or a lower filters, its very rare you will have both)
This fix also works with XP.
***Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system.
Note If you had installed multiple CD-writing software products on your computer, you need to uninstall the software products before you remove the registry keys.***
