I have purchased my MacBookPro in October 2007, after 6 months my optical drive was so picky in reading or writing DVDs and CDs, and after few months, it was able to read originals only.
I tried everything from updating the firmware or flashing it to restore its original firmware, but no luck, until yesterday when i had to format and install the OS from scratch, but to my surprise it wasn’t able to read the Original MacOS DVD.
I Googled once again about the cuase of this, and found some results referring to cleaning the lens,
I followed this tutorial to disassmble the laptop :
and this one to disassmble the optical drive and clean the lens with benzene,
In 1 hour i had my superdrive working as brand new one and saved me from buying a new one 
, i know many who face the same problem with the optical drive, this was a nice way to have it back.

LOL @ jobs
well hazem,the problem is that mac os is designed for specific hardware, thus the drivers available for it, are for the hardware designed for mac, if your VGA chip one of those available on mac you wouldn't have this problem
if you really want it, you can check the market for a VGA with the same model that gets released with MAC, so you find hte drivers easily, same goes for wifi and ethernet.
