Your DVD drive was supplied with an install CD for software usually
called "PowerDVD" or WinDVD". You can reinstall this to recover CD
capacity.

How would PowerDVD or WinDVD restore the ability to read CDs?
Curious...

The drive has two lasers of different power to read DVDs and CDs. Sounds
like the CD laser has carked it. Don't bother to try getting it repaired,
it's much cheaper to buy a new drive.
