No. CD drives have an infrared laser to read CDs. DVD drives have both an infrared laser for CDs and a ruby-red laser for the smaller pits and tracks on DVDs.

I suppose in theory you could swap out the laser, change data stream, Modify the Potentiometer and upgrade read/write speeds then it possible could.. also a lot more modification would be required but its not worth the hassle
