Well, there seems to some issue with your Dell CD/DVD drive. You should first check whether the driver of the drive is old and needs to be updated or not. If so you should update the drive as soon as possible and check your CD/DVD drive once again for it's functionality. You should talk to the Dell customer care and reuqt them to help you in this issue or you can also visit your near by computer store and talk to the authorized technician. Your issue is rather strange , there is some hardware issue involved and you need to replace your CD/DVD drive.

Hi, Dear friend

It might be the problem of CD/DVD drivers or with the DRIVE lenses

Most of the cases this issue ... will be generated with HARDWARE problem ( DRIVE LENSES ISSUES ) In my case I already faced the same issue

However, Before going to confirm it ... Try to check the DRIVERS also ... because some times the same issue will be arised withe DRIVERS too...

So, first of all try to update or re-install the drivers about the CD/DVD ....and check if it helps

That is press windows key+R and type devmgmt.msc and click OK

Now expand CD/DVD-ROM DRIVERS option then right click on ROM DEVICE click UPDATE DRIVER SOFTWARE option and follow the screen instructions to complete the process

And if you want to re-install the drivers ...simply right click on ROM DEVICE choose UNINSTALL ...then follow the instructions after that RESTART the PC then re-install the drivers and check again

And Also try in all the possible ways like RESTORE or Repair the windows... ... in all the cases if the issue is SAME ... then it must be the problem of HARDWARE

In that case try to Contact your service center and repair it

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
