At this time, you can find this little Fixit application here and it is the best place to start: http://support.microsoft.com/mats/cd_dvd_drive_problems/
I'm able to resolve my problem with CDGONE patch (see item #3), and then proceeding to Device Manager by placing "devmgmt.msc" in Search|on top of the Start Icon of my Windows 7.
