    This problem indicates some major fault in your CD-Rom drive. This problem occurs when the lens of the CD-ROM drive is not functioning properly. If you have some expertise in hardware then you can check the following things.

    1. Remove CD-ROM drive from the CPU and open its main cover.
    2. Take a piece of clean and soft cotton and try clean the lens. (Lens cleaning CDs can do this but by opening is cleaning is better than using the lens cleaning CDs).
    3. If it works then ok otherwise take you CD-ROM drive to a hardware expert.

    The expert can increase the strength of the lens or may repair or replace the lens of the CD-ROM drive. But keep in mind that these days the CD-ROM drives are not expensive but repairing or replacing any part can be expensive. A repaired CD-ROM drive can give problem any time in the future.
