For what OS? Windows XP shouldn't require drivers for a DVD-ROM drive (it appears you're using XP from the info your web-browser is providing us)...

Serveral questions when did you buy the pc?

Sounds like the drive is faulty/dying.
Windows XP always shows DVD drives as CD Drive under Type on My Computer.

But DVDs still work fine.
D: is a real DVD drive, and F: is a virtual DVD drive.

I assume D is your DVD drive?
If it's telling you to insert the CD a lot, and refusing to work, then I'm afraid it seems like it's on it's way out. Luckily, DVD drives are dirt cheap nowadays.
