Ive had a similar problem,
my disc drive wont read any disc, and i just got it fixed for exactly the same problem, the tech guy said it was something to do with installing updates for it?
so annoying.

For the beinfit of people using google and tring to sort out the problem of "windows cannot read the disk in drive d:\" or "there is no disk inserted in drive d:\"

i had the same problem an spent days looking on the net trying different things,
it worked out something to do with permissions, i simply installed nero and changed the
settings on "nero burning rights" (changed to everyone) now it all works again :)
hope this helps

Just had this Problem and I found the follow solution elsewhere (instantly fixed the same problem for me!!):

Try to turn off the vista's burning feature.

It's not yours or anyones burners....just an update in vista which buggered the policies up

Go to your run command and type (start.....Run.....)
type gpedit.msc
Go to User configuration/Administrative templates/Windows components/Windows explorer
On the right pane, double click on "Remove CD burning features" tick the enabled button, then OK.
Reboot or logoff/logon to apply.

If your vista version does not have the gpedit function, do the following.
Open regedit, go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In the right pane, if it does not already exist, create a new 32-bit DWORD value. Name the new value as NoCDBurning, and assign the value data to 1.
Reboot or logoff/logon to apply.

This should fix the problem
it worked for me
pass this round
