Have you tried cleaning it with a lens cleaning kit. I had that problem about a year ago with just a CD-Rom drive, spent 15 bucks on a kit, fixed, no problems since.

If you are using XP or 2000, have you tried removing the device driver for the DVD-ROM under Device Manager and then rebooting and then reloading the device driver on reboot?
