I just had my first DVD burner go out on me, and that's exactly what it was doing. The first symptom was that it took 40 minutes to burn a cd. If I tried to extract a disc using that drive it would just skip - and use a lot of my cpu's resources. I defraged to no avail. Then when I tried to burn a DVD with decrypter my buffer would jump all over the place, but never get above 25 or 30%
Oh well, I'm replacing it with a dual layer, so I can justify it as an upgrade
I doubt it's the harddrive, if you just bought it in November it should still be under some kind of warranty
