Hi wolfer,

Since that problem just started happening recently, try a System Restore.

Hi wolfer,

Oh, then you'll just need to replace the DVD ROM drive.
You can try cleaning it first though with a CD/DVD drive cleaning kit.
You can also swap out the drive and test it on another system.
If all that fails, the DVD ROM drive is cheaper to replace then repair..
