It sounds like your disc drive is okay speed-wise - you say it's 52x (I think, from what you've written) and Sims 2 needs 8x, so no need for anything to be done there (not that you could anyway, without replacing the drive). First thing that occurs to me - could it be that your disc drive is a CD drive and the Sims 2 disc is perhaps a DVD? That would explain it. Basic troubleshooting: try the Sims 2 disc in another machine, see if it can be read there. Also, try another disc in your machine, see if it can be read. This will help pin down where the fault is.
