First, try a different CD, if it reads a different one, then the CD itself is the issue. It may be the format of the CD you are trying to read, in other words are you trying to read a CDRW in an older model CDROM? Are you sure it's not a DVD? (I know, stupid questions but you never know)
If the housing is cracked, then it may well be time for a new CDROM.

In order for it to be the cracked housing, it must be a good size crack. Yes, it is normal for you to be able to push your disk drive in.
Hope my answer helped.

Try another disk and see. If it will not read them then be looking for a new cd-drive. Yours probably is bad. jerkputter

Go to start and then select run and it should start then. Otherwise I don't know.
