I hope this reaches you in time!
If your CD drive isn't reading all disks, and your other reads them perfectly, it is definitely NOT your operating system.
Try cleaning the CD as suggested above. At Wal-Mart or any electronics store you can find a CD Drive cleaning kit. It comes with a funky CD that you put in the drive to clean it, and works pretty well.
If that doesn't work, it's likely that your CD drive is just breaking. The good news is, a replacement CD drive is relatively inexpensive, and easy to install. If you decide to go this route, post here and I'll be happy to help you install it as best I can.
Good luck!
