This may sound strange but your easiest first thing to do is clean the disc. Fingerprints and general dust may be the problem. Use warm water ( not hot ) and wipe the disc with a soft cloth from the centre to the rim ie not around the disc. Trying another cd/dvd drice is always a good thing to do as well.
