    What version windows?

    Couple of things to consider

    - click on start, settings, control panel, system icon, hardware tab, device mgr?
    Are there any yellow marks next to cd/dvd drives?
    If so, right click on problem driver and choose uninstall and say OK
    Close all windows and restart PC

    Windows will find cd rom and install drivers for it
    Check to see if cd drive is working now

    -if that does not help, need to do a system restore to the time before you defrag the drive
    Click start, programs, accessories, system tools, system restore
    Pick a date before you had defraged drive and click next and let the PC do a system restore
    You should be OK
