This a problem with most of the DVD drives. Uninstall any themes if u have installed some. Because, they often tend to interfere with the drive. Now replace your DVD drive cable with a Cable similar to one which connects your Hard disk. This should solve the problem.
If not, the best option what I do is to install XP again, and voila!, the problem is solved...and don't arise again for another 4-5 months
