You need to install / update the IDE buss-master driver for the chipset on your motherboard.

All device driver duties for CD drives under Windows are handled by the IDE driver for the chipset.

If you have a name brand system, you should be able to download the driver from the mfgs web site.

If not, and you need help identifying your motherboard, check out the ID tools at
www.motherboards.org
or www.wimsbios.com

I normally use the chipset mfgs latest reference drivers.
