Whoops, I missed that it was for a laptop. Those drive are more expensive. There aren't really any drivers for an optical drive outside of the native windows drivers. There is a firmware upgrade for the drive, but it may not fix the problem. Laptop optical drives are usually easy to replace. Most of the time, there is a screw on the bottom of the laptop that secures it. Your drive is about $100.00. Google sony dvd+rw DW-Q58A. Lots of people having problems.
