I reccomend buying a new cd-rom if it is not spinning the problem is probably a dead motor :/ . if it was an IDE controller problem the drive would still spin, you do NOT need a driver to have a cd-rom spin, when you boot your computer the cd-rom spins doesn't it? well the last time I checked no drivers are loaded before the RAM is cycled problem is with you cd-rom drive just buy a new one there cheap cheap cheap
