It's probably worth putting it back in then open "device Manager", find the drive under DVD / CD-ROM drives, right-click and uninstall it. Then do Action > scan for hardware changes. The system will find the drive and re-install it. With any luck it might work.
If you're told that the driver is up to date but you've already had a message saying that there's a problem with it, then it seems that it's up to date but corrupt. So you need to remove it altogether and then reinstall it.
Repeat the previous steps but choose 'uninstall' instead of 'update'. (When you restart your laptop the driver should automatically be reinstalled).
