Drive is not accessible?!?!

I have quite a weird problem on my Dell Laptop and not being too good on computers I'm at a loss as to what to do. Here's my problem:

When I go into My Computer, my CD Drive is listed, and also shows that it has a CD in it. I can open and eject my CD without a problem. However, it does not tell me any information about my CD. If I try to click on my CD drive or use a programme that requires my CD drive I get the following error message:

D:/is not accessible
The device is not ready
retry/cancel.

I click retry and I just end up going round in circles. It seems the computer still knows that it is there, but has some trouble reeding the CD perhaps? I have tried cleaning the lens and also I know the CD to be good, not a burnt or damaged CD.

If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated.

yes it is, sorry. I realised I had posted it in the desktop section and then re-posted it in the laptop section as I wasn't sure if anyone would reply to a laptop question posted accidently in the desktop section! Sorry to waste your time/confuse you! I posted a reply back in the desktop section though!
