Osx does not recognise any DVD or disk inserted

Hi Everyone,

Since this morning I tried to use some disks on my MacBook Pro, (6,2) mid 2010, but the system did not load any of them and as long as I tried to insert one, it was espelled 5 seconds after without being loaded by the OS, I actualy tried to put a disk containing an updated version of Debian, and it would not load into MacOSX, but misteriousely, debian's installation started from the same disk and the same drive i tried to use on macosx .

It is actually quite strange because I cannot understand how it could be possible that the same disk actualy loads on the Boot and it does not whithin mac osx.

Any suggestion on how to solve ?

Thank you very much,

Regards

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Another help source (if you haven't already done so).

Go to your OS Help Menu. In the search field type dvd

Click on all the troubleshooting topics & Support Articles that pertain to your issue.

You can also do the same in Disk Utility. Open same up.

At the bottom left of the window, click on the purple button w/the "?" in the middle.

This will bring up the Help Menu.

Make sure the DVDs are not dirty, smudged and/or scratched.
