Window7 not reading CD’s and DVD’s

This is a very annoying problem I put a CD or a DVD in the drive, I know there is data on it as I just made a music CD or whatever, but somehow I am asked to either put a disk, or format the disk or a dialog box appears asking me what I want to do.

There are a very few and rare times when a miracle happens and Window will actually open the CD or DVD.

Anyone can help please?
