Default Can't get dvd drive to work

Hey guys,

I'm new to this and tried searching but couldn't find anyone who has the same problem as me.
I have a Dell 1501 and was having problems with it so I reinstalled Windows Vista and didn't have any dvd burning software when everything came back.
I downloaded a program called ashampoo and it worked great. Then I tried to burn another dvd and when I put in the blank it said disk error and rejected. I tried to burn again and nothing happened. I went to My Computer and noticed that my dvd drive was missing. I went to device manager and the drive was there. I clicked the plus sign beside it and it showed the dvd brand with a small yellow triangle beside it. I clicked and tried to update the driver and it says all software is up to date.
Can anyone help me to get my dvd drive back?
I can't even listen to a CD or play a DVD at all.
I hope I have given enough information.
Thanks

As you are running Vista, it may be that your SPDT driver has been corrupted or overwritten, by installing burning software.
Unlike previous Operating Systems Vista has does not support a native ASPI Layer.

Ttry insatlling the latest SPDT driver from here and see if resolves it.
