You can replace a cd-rom drive without having to replace your whole pc... A normal CD-writer - DVD-reader combo should cost you about 60 € nowadays, I think. A DVD-writer a bit more towards 120 €.
BTW: P4 2.4 in 2001? That is AMAZING
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

loading a game does not need to read the cd much, installing it requires the cd to be read in much more detail, and is when something like a misaligned laser would cause problems.
When you load a game all it really does is look at the cd and ask itself, is this the CD I am looking for or not
