CD ROM DRIVE CANNOT LOAD THE DEVICE

MY CD ROM DRIVE DOES NOT APPEAR UNDER MY COMPUTER ALL OF A SUDDEN. WHEN I GO
TO DEVICE MANAGER, IT IS REFLECTING WITH A YELLOW QUESTION MARK. IT THEN
GUIDES ME TO UN INSTALL AND RE - INSTALL. THAT DOES NOT HELP - KEEPS ON
SAYING - WINDOWS CANNOT LOAD THE DRIVER FOR THIS HARDWARE. THE DRIVER MAY BE
CORRUPTED OR MISSING. (CODE 39)

CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE ASSIST ON HOW TO FIX THIS ERROR??

First things first, turn off the Caps, it's hard to read and considered shouting
which in most cases will get your post ignored.
