Hmmm..Problems of Samsung drives keeps on piling up here...i think its time they terminate CD drives business........
Okk..regarding your problem..
It is clearly a reading problem of the combo drive. Inability of reading leads to system hang during the process. Try cleaning the Combo with a lens cleaner.
If problem persists take it to service center. Else dispose it off and have a new drive.

try changing the cable also and see if jumpers are correctly shorted
