Okay..this just seems to be getting worse, basically the problem is my disc drive wont load certain discs, I put the disc in, you hear it spin, then stop, the spin, then stop..it carrys on like this for about 5minutes, not allowing you to eject the drive until it has stopped, and doesn't pick up the disc, thats the problem, any ideas whats up?
In the past I have got discs to work by breathing on them and putting them in with condensation on..it sometimes then picks the disc up..
Disc drive is - ATAPI DVD A DH16A1p ATA Device (Thats under properties..)

I sounds like your OPTICAL disk drive lense is dirty or the laser is failing.
You can buy a lense cleaning kit and try that out or you can replace the drive. If the drive is more than a couple of years old you may want to consider replacing it.
