I wouldn't have thought linux had anything to do with as it will of course
be on a completely separate partition. It may have been repartitioning your
disk that scuppered your dvd. The best best is to reinstall the drivers. You
should be able to download the latest drivers from the website of the
manufacturer of your dvd-rom. Failing that send them an email about it. I've
always found companies very helpful with these sorts of requests.
Altenatively you could give up on windows and use only linux instead....
