Just for grins make sure the CD in question and the other CD are not alike. IE.. data to data. try a music cd. And make sure there are no serious marks on the CD data surface.
Have you done a complete shutdown, switched power off for 1 full minute, then powered back up?
Did it work?
No? Then yes try a CD drive cleaner following the directions to the T. Remeber a CD drive is a laser emitting optical drive, with a precise tolerance, so don't go throwing the thing about.
Working? It should. if not, then restart and go into BIOS and do a auto check for drives, if this drive shows up in BIOS, then you have a OS problem. Possibly need to have windows re-install that drive.
If does not show in BIOS, then you could have a power to the drive problem, a data cable problem, a MB problem, etc. If you are not a tweaker, make sure you ground yourself prior to touching anything inside the case. Static discharge will drop a component faster than a 3 ft fall.
