    I put into NWN2 DVD reads the disc fine, Put in COD4 dvd wont read it all,
    The disc is fine (installed on my desktop fine). The drive spins up tries to read the disc but then ejects that there was no disc insterted. I tired uninstalling the DVD drivers and reinstalling them also

    Sounds to me that without a deep look at it, all I can theorize is a bad dvd laser. Try a linux livecd or something to isolate that its not windows or something.

    Do you have any drive emulators running, like daemon tools/alcohol/magicdisc etc? Those will conflict with securom or other protected DVD/CD-ROMs
