Default CD/DVD +R drive stopped working - Help!

All of a sudden my CD/DVD +R drive won't work. When I try to read a
previously created disk I cannot. I hear the drive spinning but nothing
happens.

When I try to write to a new disk it ejects the disk and tells me to
put in a compatible disk. I'm using the same disks I've been using for
months. I also cannot read a previously created disk.

Could it be the driver has been corrupted? If so, how can I recreate
the driver?

My drive is a NEC DVD+RW ND-3530A

I'm trying to back up my system and I really need this to work.

thanks

It's likely dead, but delete it from device manager and let XP reinstall it.
