I found someone with the same problem and the answer given to them is as follows.....
replace the drive! DVD drives have a dual laser fitted into the one module since the two formats require different frequency lasers to read them. There is a circuit in the drive which first tries to read the disk as a DVD when a disk insertion is detected, if that fails then it switches laser and tries to read it as a CD. (This is an overly simplified description of what happens, but is essentially what occurs when you insert a disk). What has happened to your drive is either the selection circuit has died or the CD laser has died, take your pick, either way a repair would cost a lot more than a new drive which is very cheap these days. Since you have the CD-RW for reading CDs the only real need for the DVD drive is for reading DVDs, there is no good reason therefore for changing the status-quo, so save yourself some cash and live with it til you have to take action because the CD-RW or the DVD dies completely.
Is this true????????
