Hi Royal Diamond,

Please try the below mentioned steps and check if this fixes the problem:

1. Run Optical Drive Troubleshooter from Windows 7 Troubleshooter. MS Fix it : https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2970908/how-to-use-microsoft-easy-fix-solutions
2. If the Optical Drive is not working after running the MS Fix it, run PC Dr. / ePSA / Dell 32 Bit Dell Diagnostics on Optical drive. If test fails, Replace Optical Drive else, follow next steps.
3. Download and Install the Latest BIOS from support site. Restart the system.

Note: Plug your computer to a good, working UPS before you update the BIOS. If you experience a loss of AC power or a significant voltage sag/spike during the BIOS flash, you will either have to buy a new BIOS chip or buy a new motherboard.

Do reply with results.
