If your CD-ROM drive can power up and the tray is able to eject...but can't read a CD-ROM in your CD-ROM drive?......them get a CD-ROM drive cleaner and clean up the drive head.....probably it is dirty. A wet & dry one do a better jobs.
Otherwise check the connection cables.Still can't get it to spind... then you need to get a replacement.

I have no idea what you are asking. Perhaps you are referring to a bad disc. If so there is some possibility that you can get it back by cleaning it with a kit made for that purpose and possibly by using a program designed to deal with damaged discs. If you are referring to the drive itself being bad then just buy a new one. They are VERY cheap today.
