Help needed with DVD drive

I bought a laptop about a month ago and up until a few days ago it was reading dvds and game discs fine. Then all of a sudden it just stopped. I've checked in Control Panel and it came up with this message

Quote :

Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)

Click 'Check for solutions' to send data about this device to Microsoft and to see if there is a solution available.

Clicked check for solution and nothing came up. It turns out I need to download this >>>> hl-dt-st dvdram gsa-t40n driver. I've tried looking on the internet but can't really find anything and I'm a complete mess when it comes to technical stuff so I haven't the foggiest what I'm doing so I'd appreciate it if somebody could help us out.
