Yeh this is really rubbish - I cannot remember the number of CD/DVD drives 
I've had that have just lost the ability to burn or read discs.  Usually 
cleaning like you say helps for a bit, but they die eventually.  Maybe the 
room I keep my PC in is just too dusty, or I don't use the drives enough?  I 
wonder if optical media will die at some point and we can just use solid 
state memory?
