Vista - DVD drive no longer recognized

I am running Vista Ultimate on an AMD Athlon 64-bit processor 3200+ with 1GB
RAM, and a Radeon X600.
After having no issues for about a week with clean install, suddenly I get
the message "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The
driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)" for my DVD burner, which also
has a second hard drive as a slave. I had been able to use both, and
installed different programs from CD prior to its disappearance 5 days ago.
Any ideas??

Hie
i had the same problem with sony dru-800a.
Windows needed drivers for this device.
I changed the IDE wire and vista installed successfull ?!? Too long ? bad
connector ?
dunno, after exchange, it was done

regards
