Intermittent DVD ROM Failure?

Hi chaps - I've recently started suffering regular failure with the DVD ROM on my Fujitsu Siemens Laptop. Running XP home - explorer sees the drive but when I insert a disc it all too frequently comes up with the error "windows cannot read this media - the disc may be corrupt etc etc........"

The drive light comes on, whirrs a bit (but slowly and briefly) and then gives up the ghost! After maybe ten attempts with the same disc it finally kicks in (well mostly anyhow)

Any ideas forumites?

Thanx
