so ive had this desktop for ages and its served me well over the bit more then 3 years ive had it. i got the disk drive replaced as it stopped working one when it was covered by warranty. so i got a new drive thats worked fine until about 3 weeks ago. every time i put a disk in xp freezes and when i eject it it unfreezes. i take it that its stuffed. i tried updating the firmware (which is the most engrish full program i have ever seen for a large company) but that didnt help even though there was an update. so is it fucked? (no i dont have any live cds to boot from)

Sounds borked to me. You definitely have yourself a problem there.

Not to mention the obvious, but have you tried rebooting yet? And I'm talking a cold reboot: unplugged from the wall, left to sit for 15 minutes.
