I had the exact same problem. The solution is simple:

Buy a CD/DVD drive cleaner. You can get one at Staples for under 12 bucks (at least where i live you can). You just pop it in the computer and in a few minutes its done. Your drive will work like new.

Also, when burning a cd or dvd dont pick up the laptop. Just eave it on your desk. Moving it around can cause problems while burning.
