After restarting got the msg that DVD Drive driver Installed Successfully. But again same problem it vanishes. When i open drive by pressing button, icon appears then again vanishes.

By the sounds of it, it sure seems a weird problem!
But, it looks like a case of loose wire. Have you checked if the cable wire, as well as power cable is gripped properly at the rear end of DVD drive?
