Sad I/O Error!!!

hi guys.

Right, i took my bh disk out to play another game (IGI 2), however when i put that disk in nothing happened. No autoplay, nothing. I double clicked the icon and it said that no disk had been inserted. I clicked on 'my computer' and it said also that no disk had been inserted so it remained CD Drive Q.

i went into run and typed "Q:" but an error message came up saying

'Q is not accesable. The request could not be performed because of an I/O error.'

I have restarted my comp, put other disks in and nothing! Still doesn't work.

Please halp!!!
BB

p.s some details:
Graphics card > Nvidia Gforce4 440 Go 64m
DVD drive > TOSHIBA DVD ROM SD-R6112

sounds like either the disk is bad/dirty, or the drive is going.

also could check for loose cables.

DVD or CD drives will do that some times, even my has done it, i find some times restart the computer will reset it.

i count it as bad bootup is all.

i had it done to me even with brand new DVDs movies as will.

the DVD/CD Drive bay Icon (shortcut on desktop or in my computer) will not change ether when i put in a another Cd or DVD in ether. only way icon change if i restart the computer

Could be just the CD drive playing up, really. It happens.

Mine's so screwed up that I have to use a paper clip to open it lol - even though generally it pretty much always reads CDs successfully...

well sometimes if i leave my comp. on standby to say go out for the day, then when i come back it cant even find the disk drive.

it doesnt show up in 'my computer' and requires a few restartes just to get it to work

also i regulary clean my disks and disk drive.
