If it isn't under warranty and you aren't comfortable or familiar with how to test it for hardware issues, either get a knowledgeable friend to look at it, or try getting a different Windows disk just in case it's the disc that's defective and not your machine.
I was thinking that. Is it possible there are certain types of CDs that a laptop drive can't read?
