D drive not working/recognised

Hi All, I went to burn a CD last night and the Cd drive would not work. I looked in my computer and it would not show. I checked device manager and the drive, which is a philips cd/dvd drive, is showing with a yellow exclamation marker beside it.
Why is this and how can I fix my drive to work again.
Cheers, Elsdon

2. Did you install any software or modified any application on computer which might lead to this?

3. Did you try to delete the upper/lower filter as follows:
