    More than likely the drive is knackered.
    Are cd's and dvd's affected or is it only one or the other??

    Might just be the driver.. try this first..

    Go into the device manager:

    right click my computer ... properties ... hardware (tab up the top) ... Device Manager.

    Find your DVD/CD Rom and double click! Click Driver tab. Try 'roll back driver' ... or try update driver.
