The thing I noticed about Core2 over Core 1 is that, during install, Core 2 recognizes and mounts my usb stick and presents it on the desktop for access just like a cdrom. My suspicion is that if you installed Core 2 with the external DVD device plugged into a USB port, and Core 2 didn't see it at install, you may be out of luck. Have you checked with Liteon support to see if they have a solution?
Just throwing out a stupid idea here that might be worth a try...
With a DVD in the drive and as root:
mkdir /mnt/dvdrom [enter]
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/dvdrom [enter]
mount /mnt/dvdrom [enter]
cd /mnt/dvdrom [enter]
ls [enter]
