Perhaps the Data area of the Disc have developed scratches which is causing the DVD/CD Drive to make it unreadable.Try installing the game at a friends place.If it installs fine then your Optical Drive is at fault.If not then possibly the Disc is corrupt.

the cab files in most of the cd cant be unzipped , it will show the same message as u have written this doesnt means that files r damaged

Yup the disc is screwed alright.Try cleaning around the data area delicately and then wiping it with a smooth cloth.Thats the most you could do to recover it.Also you could try and attempt to make a Virtual Image of the game Via Alcohol 120% and then try to mount the Disc.
