DVD Drive Disappeared from "My Computer"?

Question

I have Samsung DVD writer installed on PC. Yesterday while the system was on it suddenly disappered from "My Computer". When I rebooted the PC it took too long to boot and DVD drive was not there. When I shut down the system and disconnected DVD drive and again connected it and left the system off for few (4-5) hours and then started it DVD drive appeared but then disappeared again after some time. I think that leaving the system off for a few hours also works but ultimately DVD drive disappears after the system worked for 1/2 to 1 hour. Help me please.
