1.Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
This can be done by opening the start menu and left clicking RUN, another option is pressing the windows logo key on the keyboard
together with the R key, in the box you type regedit and click OK ( or enter on your keyboard )
2. Find the right key in the registry.
Locate the UpperFilters value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SYSTEM > CurrentControlSet > Control > Class > {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
When you see the UpperFilters key left click it and press delete, you will be asked for a confirmation, just click YES
Now do the exact same but with the Lowerfilters.
3. Reboot the computer
Now restart your computer and you should have a working CD/DVD drive once more !
CONCLUSION:
Some CD/DVD writing software change the filters in the registry to there own, this can sometimes cause problems.
By deleting these value's windows puts them back on default after a reboot.
