How can I get my DVD player 'lost' back again?

My computer has a dvd recorder/player I've used several times mainly to install new software. Recently he no longer recognizes that the drive exists. I can not load the new software and I can not download anything to re - install the drive because it does not exist. How to get back my DVD drive again?
