The external DVD drive may not work as it is probably plugged in to the USB port an the USB port may not become active till Windows loads, so a chicken and egg.
I seem to remember there was an option in some BIOS to make the USB active before Windows loads, but I am not sure if that is still available or if it is available on all PCs.

Also you could try pressing F8 DURING BOOT UP to go into Windows Advanced Startup Options.
You could then select various repair options.
Note F8 needs to be pressed over and over again during boot up to make sure it works

If you have access to another PC (a friend or relative) you could download the Windows 7 code from here, then put it on a USB.

Then (as the DVD drive does not work on your PC) make the USB bootable and boot YOUR PC from the USB stick and do the Windows 7 install with that.
