I have not been able to make it read another disk since. Is it that I need a driver or firmware to make it work. The drive is recognised in the Devise Manager and it says that it is working fine. I need some serious help.
It is most likely not firmware related. Did it used to work before? If so, then it's definitely not firmware related.

It sounds like that your drive has become physically damaged somehow (or it might just be a dust problem; sometimes lens cleaning might help).
