HLDS GCC-4481B Driver

I'm slowly losing patience trying to fix this problem: I downloaded an updated my dell's chipset drivers in hope to fix a problem with one of my usb devices. Well it has at least seemed to fix the usb problem, it has created others. When setting up some files to burn to a cd, I noticed that the drive under the "sent to" right-click menu has disapeared. Thinking that was kinda odd, I just dragged the files to the blank cd's folder. After getting all the files ready for a burn, I click the "Write these files to a cd" button, which now does nothing more than make a noise and not do anything. I restarted my computer, but this had no effect on fixing any problems. So, I checked the propertise, which I noticed. are now nothing more than generic Window's drivers for both my Samsung SC-148C and my HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4481B. Searching for the drivers just shows that nothing can be found. I cannot find any information oh where to find drivers, or where i even first I got them->since i installed this drive myself fine a year and a half ago. All the documentation that came with it (that I can find) is useless. So what in the world happended to my drive's drivers?
