He's correct no drivers are required to read CD's and DVD's with the drive. As it's showing under My Computer then Windows has picked it up. Was it a new drive or taken out of another laptop?

Try the solution listed on the third post of thread, it might help with your issue.

whats the model number and version number of your old slot drive ?
it will be printed on the yellow lable on a panasonic ( matshita ) drive.

just before you replace that other drive if its a bit hit and miss on reading i would try the following.
remove it from the laptop once more , make sure all the contacts are clean and straight.
if it fits in to a caddy , make sure its fitted tight.

refit the drive and see how it does.
as its a tray load check the laser ( power off ) make sure its clean with no dust or marks over it, it only take a finger print on the laser lens for them to skip and play about. laptop tray drives do suffer with that when people remove cdroms.

if you find the laser is dirty use a cotton budd to clean it, i must stress a great deal of care must be taken in order not to damage the laser only the lightest of touch is needed.
