Optical drives (cd/dvd) for the most part don't requires drivers in the sense other hardware does. That's why they work during boot.
Make
sure it has power (ejects). Check Device Manager in Safe Mode by pressing F8
during boot. Right click My Computer > Manage. Select Device Manager >
View > Show Hidden Devices. Now delete all DVD/CD-ROMs and reboot. Windows
will say "New Hardware Found" and install.
Check
BIOS by pressing F key (correct F key is noted during boot) and make sure
BIOS see's the Optical Drive.
