Hi,

to know more about what is wrong,

launch a terminal and then open the DVD drive, put a CD-R with data, or 
a DVD-R with data, or a dvd-video, close the drive.

After 2 or 3 seconds, something should happen on your screen if the 
install is ok, a program such as nautilus or totem. This mean that your 
optical drive is well know by ubuntu.

if not, in the terminal, write this command : dmesg

a long list is going to appear, have a look to the last lines, they talk 
about want happen when you put the CD or DVD into the optical drive.

copy and cut theses lines in your next email, maybe we can have a start 
of solution for you.

Laurent
