Welcome to Fixya

This can happen due to Three problems.

1) Might have disabled the DVD rom. To check this, Goto control panel->DeviceManager->CD/DVD Rom. Where you can enable/disable the device.

2) The Drivers for the DVD rom may not be installed or may be corrupted. Please use the drivers cd or visit the dell site to update the drivers.

3) The CD DVD Drive may be loosely connected. If can risk at opening the chasi and try connecting it properly

The system may need to be restarted if you perform any of the above activities.

Rate the solution appropriately.
