If the disc is clean

Hello,
If the disc's are clean and scratch free.
It is possible your drive may be going.
Do you have only one drive?
I have a DVD rom and a DVD burner. I have had 2 DVD roms go out on me on the past year. They were on 2 different computers and about 2 years old. When they first began to go they would not read a DVD all of the time then eventually could not read a DVD at all. I bought new DVD roms and back to working fine. One of the DVD Roms that went was a Liteon. Ihave replaced it wth a Sony.
