Try to boot from the DVD rive by using any a windows installation disk. If you can't, then boot to windows and download and update your firmware. If still the same thing, load bios defaults, shut down system, unplug system from power outlet, push and hold down the tower's power button for ten seconds, replug system, turn on system, try to use the dvd drive. If still no go, replace dvd drive.
