MS-6330 S/N 1700708281 red mother board and BIOS help.

Question

 
I am trying to repair my cousins machine.  I am computer savy but dont want to mess up either.  She has a red mother board with the above listed number on the board.   From the System Information screen (I installed Win XP Pro).  The problem is that sometimes the CD drives can be read and mostly not at all.  The floppy drive is the same way.  As far as I know the BIOS has never been updated.  Would this solve the problem of reading the drives other than the HD?
Any help in this line well help.  Thank you.
