FWIW, I had similar problems with a DVD burner a couple of weeks ago. I
went ahead and replaced it and the troubles went away. You could try
and see if you could boot a live file system with it. Or, boot from
another optical drive (if you have one) on the system with something
like freesbie/ubuntu and see if it works with the live file system.
