This is an extremely bad idea. The new image based installation of Vista allows anyone to edit the installer with ease (simply by unpacking, changing it and repacking it). Your installation could come with a prepacked rootkit, for example.
What you should do is simply check if the DVD works in other drives. If it does, then your own drive is (almost) broken, and you should get it replaced. If the DVD doesn't work in the other drives either, then you should get it replaced (because it is malfunctioning).
Trying to hack around the problems is really not a good alternative.
