Toshiba A215-S7422 optical drive not recognized

My laptop has Vista Service Pack 2 installed and for some reason the optical drive is no longer recognized.  When I put a disc in to play, I can hear the head searching but then nothing else happens.  Opening up Computer with Windows Explorer, it shows the C: drive and nothing else.  It used to show C: drive and D: drives.  Opening the Device Manager, shows the drive is there and the General tab says that it's working properly.  

I checked the web for solutions which mentioned checking that the audio player is enabled which it is. It also gave a solution about going into the registry and "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}" which I did but the Upper Filters it wanted me to delete wasn't listed so I exited the registry. 

I can play MP3 or WAV files okay.  If I plug in an external USB disc drive, a CD plays fine but then put it in the optical drive and it doesn't.  I downloaded Rkill just this morning to check things and after running, it showed that it had terminated the "TODDrv.exe" file.  I was going to delete the file since it showed the file as "(PID: 3232) [WD-HEUR]" without quotes but decided to first check the web and found that it's a Toshiba program associated with an optical drive so left it alone. 

I shut it down and restarted thinking that file would then be active again.  Anyway, I'm at a loss as to what may have happened.  The Rkill program didn't show any other anomalies which is why I'm asking for help.  Thanks... 

Need the model of the drive to figure that out completely

Thanks for the replies, Guys.  I'll answer both of you here.  

Cryptodan - I clicked on your link for the Speccy program which took me to a page that wasn't available or not found (I can't remember, just blank) but I tried several times with the same results before giving up.  I got to checking the url address box and copied it.  This is where it sent me: https://www.go.bleepingcomputer.com/?id=3687X620620&isjs=1&jv=15.3.0-stackpath&sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bleepingcomputer.com%2Fforums%2Ft%2F781948%2Ftoshiba-a215-s7422-optical-drive-not-recognized%2F%23entry5467585&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ccleaner.com%2Fspeccy&xs=1&xtz=420&xuuid=05fd7e7cba40c9b6eeed74130c829ed5&cci=7ad48fba9b4f1c533770339957fb23c1

Hi, Glad to know, happy it is working again for now :=}

Age would be a factor.  I have about 5 that work but no longer burn.

Am sure there was a mistake in the copy/paste for the URL  If fell the need to post Speccy Report if it acts up again : Speccy Free : https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/download
