Separate drivers are not required for all current operating systems (win98, me, 2000, xp, vista, w7, linux, openbsd, mac os etc.) as support for internal cd/dvd's is built in.

If you are trying to play a dvd movie you need software to do so. vlc from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ is available for most if not all of these operating systems and can play dvds.

if your device is an external usb cd/dvd drive you only need drivers for early versions of windows, such as win98.

Acer dvd driver missing acer ferrari 400 dvd uj-845-c

CD/DVD drive drivers are Operating System generic drivers and need not to be installed explicitly. The CD/DVD drive drivers are installed along with the Operating System and can be reinstalled automatically at next restart, if missing.

Check in the Device Manager under the "CD/DVD drive" category if there is any device listed there and having exclamation mark. If there is any exclamation mark visible beside the CD/DVD drive name then right click on it and restart the Computer.

Restarting the Computer will reinstall the CD/DVD drive driver thus causing it to work normally.
