Any electronics store should have it, they're fairly common.

If your CD-ROM is not able to read any CD then there is a problem with the lense of the CD-ROM. There might be a dust on it and you have to open it and clean it with a dry cloth.

It is recommended that you take this CD-ROM to the tech support of the Company from where you purchased it or to the vendor.

And that is exactly what a CD/DVD cleaning disk is designed to do, clean any muck from your lens. They are cheap and available where ever you can buy blank CD/DVDs.

Hi
theres only so much that can be wrong
As instructed try a cd lenser cleaner
And/or

-See if Data cables (IDE) is pluged in correctly
-Change/ Swop out IDE cables

If The above fails than its most like the drive is Kapoot

Thinking about it I actually had some sort of the same problem a year or two back with a Sahara DVDRW combo drive.
It could read CD"s and DVD's and Burn CD's, however I could not burn my DVD's. Bought a new one and voila
