If it was a lens problem you wouldn't see anything. Can you copy files from there? if not with Copy paste try with nero. If you copy with nero so It's OS problem. try and let me know

Yeah, So it's problem of your System not your CD-rom. It can be some bugs in registry. Try registry cleaners, if it not helps, try reinstalling OS.

it might have happened that your lens has caught some dust... it can also happen that your disc is scratched or having a dirty surface on the part where the lens reads it.

i think its not the cd problem because the problem is almost with all every cd/dvd i put may be the lens got dusted i need to clean it once

If all your cds and dvds are having the same problem then it is probably because of dust on the lens. Try using a lens cleaner and the problem will fix itself.If it still does not work (it happened to me once) then your lens is probably damaged and you have to repair it.Well in that case you might opt to buy a new rom because when I went to repair mine they said the price of a new lens is almost equal to that of a new cd rom. Lets all hope your rom gets fixed quickly.
