I would verify permissions in Disk Utility for a start. I have known it to fix Toast issue's before.

Boot to your install disc and run disk utility from there. Highlight the HD and then on the right you will see a button that says "verify permissions" click that and then repair when it has run through.
Restart and try again.

Yes that could definitely be the issue.
Any good music store sells CD based lens cleaners, though some people don't like them, I have had no issues with them personally, just get a good one, not a Poundland cheapy!
Blowing compressed air into the drive is another way to try and clean the lens, not sure to work though.
Ultimately it could be the drive on it's way to the grave, in which case your best option is to buy an external burner.

i reckon this is the best option. the other methods could be more hit and miss. see if you can borrow one of somebody, before you buy one though.
