My PC won't read one of my dvd-r disks- keeps saying there is no disk in the drive? Works on other PCs...?

Question

I've just downloaded cdroller and even this doesn't recognise that there is a dvd in the drive, although a friend's compter did recognise it (but I wasn't able to copy it from there as it couldn't copy things from the disk to the harddrive for some reason)... Really important files on this DVD that I need asap- any ideas?
