If the CD drive is damaged you may need to replace it but if you may have had a file or driver problem, you can do the fallowing and it may restore your missing driver files.
Enter your device manager and look for flags or exclamation marks.
If found, remove them all and reboot unit.
If when the unit restarts it finds the missing device, it will automatically load the driver.
If it does not and you still do not have access to your CD drive, go back to your device manager and open you drives category and look for your CD drive.
If you see it, remove it and reboot your unit and again, it will load the appreciate drives required.
Hope this works for you.

I have a dell xps m1530 and i keep getting a message saying that the NTLDR is missing to press any key to restart but when i press a key it just repeats the same message is there anyway to fix this?

This can happen if you have a non-system disc in your CD tray and attempt to boot up the computer. If there is a disc in your CD tray try removing that and see if it works. If that does not work you should go into your BIOS (often your computer will give you a key to press when booting up). Go into boot priority (you may need to look around a little) and make sure that your hard drive is the primary boot device, and not the CD or DVD drive.
I hope this helps!

Dell XPS M1530 System does not read CD/DVD Drive after Windows XP installation . Can anyone help

If the LED is flashing when booting. Look for a pinhole on the drive and get a pn that fits on it, insert and push.This is the emergency eject.

check my computer if its there. If not follow this.
1. Run Regedit

CD-ROM Drive has a driver problem (Dell XPS M1530)

Driver will be on Opperating System it is a Sony Product that is extemely common.

If the Hardware has failed... it can also give you that same error... bit misleading. I'm assuming the light in the front of the CD Rom is flashing when you push the eject button and of course the door opens. This all can be true and the CD Rom could still be bad.

Try to locate a replacement CD Rom to test... friend or the cost of a new one is about 45-50 dollars...
:D

My dell xps m1530 will not and the eject will not function

The M1530 slot drive has no manual eject. If the drive is not ejecting the media, then a service call is required to replace the optical drive. (The old drive has to be removed from the chassis to get the media out of it)

Hopefully, the system is under warranty.

if not, information on removing the optical drive is here:
