It's a controller problem,

Look in Device Manager under 'Storage Controllers'. Should be two listed there; 1 Gigabyte and 1 Microsoft... Uninstall the Gigabyte one - and tick the Delete driver option in the confirm box. Then go to your DVD/CD-Rom Drives and uninstall the entry for your CD/DVD drive also . Then immediately restart Vista. On restart all drivers should then be reinstalled correctly and you need to do another restart.
