Can't view data disc content - tries to burn a new disc

I've got a Sony Vaio N series notebook, and I'm finding that I'm unable to
view content on data discs. This is a major problem when I need to install
software as I can't do so without Window asking me if I want to burn a new
disc. I've tried right-clicking and then clicking "explore," but no dice. It
just keeps asking to burn. The closest I can get is searching for specific
words like "setup" or "install."

Any idea why this is happening and how I can change it?

Katilla:
You must be having a hardware problem in your CD driver/burner.
Try cleaning your laser lens with a cotton swab embedded in alcohol or use a
"cleaner CD"
Maybe the laser is dirty.
Do it at your own risk!!!
