2. updating the driver
3.that upper class and lower class deleting thing..(these two columns are not there)
and i am tired of searching for an answer

you can't really replace a laser diode, so that means the whole unit (drive) will need a replacement.
if nothing else you have a reason to get a upgrade to blu-ray.

if the drive will detect CD's but no longer detects DVD's, I would say the DVD laser has died. the CD and the DVD use different size laser diodes for CD's and DVD's. one diode for each, if the DVD diode has died then the drive can only read CD's.

not aware of your budget
cheap: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA7GT2RW3435&cm_re=external_dvd-_-9SIA7GT2RW3435-_-Product
a bit more: enclosure + drive of choice
enclosure: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817366022&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=external_dvd_enclosure-_-17-366-022-_-Product
drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA10V54K6917&cm_re=laptop_dvd_drive-_-9SIA10V54K6917-_-Product

I ran across this:
