Probably skippy as hell due to high activity in background apps.

Best to try a DVD lens cleaner first as 2zero said, if that fails, ill go through deleting the ide controllers so XP does a clean sweep, cos it mite not be recognizing the drive as a DVD drive anymore..

IDE controllers, they control your hard disks + any other IDE drives eg dvd/cdrw drives ect
