OHHHH,sorry it is a laptop.Well is it still under warranty?If it is I would take it to were you bought it and have it repaird.
I would not at all sugest you open up a laptop unless you knew completely what you were doing.
If it is not under warranty I think you may need to buy a new CD/DVD rom drive.

Re: Can not Enable/Disable CD/DVD In Bios
Hello Ashok, welcome to PCHF by the way.
I agree that this is likely to be a hardware problem. Just because it is able to open and close, means absolutely nothing, it just means that the drive is still receiving power. The connections between the power and the motherboard are seperate entities. What is the make and model of the laptop? Depending on your BIOS, it may show as disabled and undetected if it is unable to communicate with the drive.

Re: Can not Enable/Disable CD/DVD In Bios
does the BIOS detect your CD/DVD ROM Drive?
