Could be the reading lens is dirty. Pop down to Pc world / currys / any computer store and look for a DVD lens cleaner. Might do the trick.

hmmmmmmm dont know!. this is going to be annoying i can tell.
The DVDRW picks up the recovery disc if I insert it while the the laptop is booting up. takes a little while though. Also just found out if I try to open the drive by clicking on the F: drive icon with a blank DVD DISC in it says. DRIVE F: IS NOT ACCESSIBLE INCORRECT FUNCTION. does this help anyone??

You had another post in the Windows 98 section, so if this is a Win 98 O/S you might just have a "noide" registry problem.
Here is a link on how to fix it.
Check device manager, you should have two yellow flags on the IDE items if this is the case
