Not really an answer, but you could also try to clean the laser head yourself to see if this solves the problem (do not use alcohol as this leaves a "film" on the lens itself)

If this does not help you could replace the DVD-ROM for a working one (new or 2nd hand from eBay)

As for playing COD4 without the DVD: http://m0001.gamecopyworld.com/games/pc_call_of_duty_4.shtml
