Thank you for the reply.
After replacing the drive, I got the message "E: \ The directory name is invalid".
After searching (unsuccsessfully) for a solution on the internet,
I decided to unplug the drive and then plug it back in while the PC powered was up. It immediately recognized the new drive as a CD/DVD drive.
Everything is working fine now.
