When i load any cd into this drive (in my Asus latop) it tries again
and again all in vein to run it. But when i load a dvd it reads with no
problems... what's going on? I can hear it trying to run the cd up to
speed, but it seems to keep on failing. The laptop tends to run very
hot, but i don't know if this has anything to do with it...


Thanks

There are two lasers, one for CDs, other for DVDs. Sounds like the CD
read (and possibly Write) laser is worn out, or defective. Time for a
new drive. DVDs will be fine, because they don't use the other laser at
all.
