Help with my CD Drive please!

Hey all!

Okay, so I have a dumb Gateway laptop at home that is running Windows XP…well a couple of months ago, my laptop crashed and my hard drive got erased. Since then I have gotten everything working again except for my CD Drive. Whenever I put a CD in, the laptop doesn’t recognize that there is a CD in the drive nor does any “autorun” features work. I do have Internet connection on the laptop and I’m assuming (and hoping) that all I need is to download some sort of driver for it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!!

…download the drivers?
