I would first try the most obvious: attach a different optical unit to
your system (either USB or internal. Yup, I know it's annoying but...)
and try to load the dvd disc from there. This way you will discard a
problem within your dvd unit.
I wish one day optical devices become something of the past... even
floppies have been proven to be more reliable than this laser thingy :-)
