IF there is no problem on opening the CD using other computers then you should try the following: 1) Get a CD drive cleaner. There could be some dirt on the glass. I have used it several times in the past, and it did help. 2) Ensure that your computer is on a completely flat surface. A deviation will affect many CD drives. I have seen several cases, and the one involving mine occurred about two weeks ago. If the CD cannot be opened on any computer system then consider trying one or both of the following methods. 3) Clean the CD. Sometimes it works. 4) Try a CD recovery software. I have not tried this method yet but it seems that there is up to an 80% chance of success. If none of the above method works then you may need to replace your CD writer/player.
