I could be hardware problem. But yet, it could be a software problem. Can you give some system specs?

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your CD drive or your computer (preferably the CD drive).
Check their download section, and grab the latest drivers there.

If this works: yay!
If this fails: be prepared to buy a new drive, fortunately they're only like $10-$15 these days and easy to install.

Is that "english" english. It confuses me. :P

Anywho, yeah.. drives are really cheap. I remember back around 2002 when a DVD burner was something "newer" and expensive.
