windows 10 - My DVD isn't being picked up by a working DVD drive

I have a somewhat old DVD with Ship Simulator 2008 on it - I haven't used it in a couple of years but recently I decided to try install the game. However, when I put it in the DVD drive, I heard it started to work but then stopped and started again while Windows 10 gave no indication of anything happening. The last time I used the disk it was on Windows 7 but if it were incompatible or corrupt, shouldn't Windows give some sort of notification?



If the DVD is corrupt is there a way to recover the files? The companies that made the sim have moved on long ago so it would be really annoying if it was lost forever.
