Difficult to be precise Try removing NERO from the machine and see if the drive seems any better. The alternative to run a drive cleaner to clean the lasers[there are two one DVD one CD] A drive cleaner is like a CD with a little brush and- a small bottle of fluid. any Electrical store has them. If that does not work then it is new drive. It may be cheaper in that case to get an external USB one rather than send the machine away for a OEM replacement.
