There could be several causes, but because you mentioned your internet as a second symptom, it leads me to believe you may have a virus.
What exactly occurs when you try to read a disk for the second time? Do you get an error? Does the drive letter disappear?
I suggest you obtain a decent anti-virus, put it on a USB stick, and install it on your laptop from there. Avast! is free, as is AVG anti-virus. I recommend you get a free trial of a paid copy, however, so that you can do a full scan for root-kits, MBR, etc. Avast! Internet Security is good, as is Trend Micro and/or Norton.
Right-click on Drive A. You will see the option to format the drive.
Click on Format. Depending on your operating system, you will see an option that reads either "Create a system disk" or "Create a MS Dos system disk." Click the box next to this option.
Click the "Start" button to begin formatting the disk.
Open the software that you use to burn or write files to the CD-rom or DVD drive.
Click on "Make a Data CD or DVD." Insert a blank CD-R or DVD-R disk into the drive.
Look for the option to "Make this disk bootable." You may have to scroll over the various icons displayed to find this option. Click on the option.
Burn the CD or DVD as usual. Once completed, this disk can be used to boot your computer.
When completed, you will have a bootable floppy disk.
For CD Rom or DVD disks
hope this helps
