DVD Player reads no CD and DVD

I have a laptop Dell Inspiron with Vista 64 bit, which is a year old and a few days ago that the DVD drive stopped reading discs. When I insert a disc and try to open it I get a pop up window that says "insert a disc. Please insert a disc into drive f"and then there's a link to"help me choose a disc ". That is the way I use to access the computer disk (Windows Media player, iTunes), I get the same window.

In the order I did the following: I restarted the computer. I tried to read several different CDs/DVDs that I know have worked before. I ran the anti-virus software, which has identified a virus, quarantined it and I removed it. I assured my drivers are up to date and I uninstalled equipment and reinstalled. I tried restoring the system several times, but after restarting the system restore, I get a message that says: he was not able to restore the system.

Any help on this would be appreciated. Thank you.
