Microsoft's Autoplay repair wizard _might_ fix this problem. See this post
from Alex Nichol, MVP.

It may be a fouled up autoplay setting, so that the autoinsert
notification is being lost. Microsoft people have written an unofficial
fix up tool for Autoplay. Without great confidence, I suggest you try
it - it is not on a MSoft site, but can be downloaded from

Jatinder,

I am having the same issue with both my CD/DVD drives (so it doesn't seem
to
be related to a particular brand of drive, I have Sony and Plextor). I
asked
the Plextor tech support and they responded that it seems to be related to
Windows. I mention this to let you know you are on the right track. I
hope
someone will respond with some info or a fix. I have to reboot everytime
I
want to refresh the data view on my disks. What a pain.
