Default CD-RW No longer functioning

My CD-RW stopped working. I have no idea why. I reseated the cables to make
for sure they hadn't come loose. On boot up, the CD-RW access light comes
on, but it won't open and in the Device Manager, it isn't listed. I checked
the BIOS and it's being recognized there.

I'm wondering if the driver might have gotten deleted or corrupted? I
talked to my computer manufacturer's tech guy and he said that this CD drive
uses the generic CD-RW driver that came on Windows ME.

Any idea how I can get it??? He told me to run the Application Recovery CD,
but I can't do that if the CD drive isn't working.
