Sorry that your cd drive is broke,but your only alternative is to replace the cd drive,they are usually not repairable because its probably cheaper to just get a new drive,you shouldnt have to much trouble putting the new drive in,so start looking for a replacement drive.................

is that mean...the content of cd is lost?? :(
 
Which is cracked: The CD (the round silvery thing) or the CD drive (the thing in your computer that you put the CDs into)? A cracked CD drive can be replaced, and then all of your CDs can be read with the new drive. A cracked CD is harder to recover from.
