Did you try the boot menu? It's generally F8, but the comp should tell you when it's booting up. I think Dell "may" be F12 but I don't exactly remember.
Well on this computer its del and I am checking the jumpers right now.

Where there went most of my suggestions to help…Hmmm you can try and manually set up the Opticl Drive in the BIOS instead of auto, use a USB CDROM if you can boot from USB, but seriously after messing with and trying numerous things it would be easier to take the 3 screws left and check everything like maybe changing the jumpers to Maste/Slave if they're set on cable select, check the cables, do what guy suggested and it'll probably be a good time to clean out the guts of the Rig while you're there…

Re:Try another cd-rom drive, chances are that the cd-rom drive you're attempting to boot off of has failed.

Re:Do you have a different cd-rom drive you could change out to see if the drive has gone bad?

Re:Yeah, in the BIOS the CDrom is the first on the boot list.
