DVD-ROM gone missing!

I have a notebook on which the dvd has stopped working, and has disappeared from My Computer and Windows Explorer. Previously it was there and I used to burn the dvd's as well, but now it doesnt show up only. When I check in device manager then it gives error code 39 - Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupt or missing. This problem started when I downloaded and installed some updates in my Windows Vista system. So, in any case, from where should I download the drivers for the drive?
