    Usually when something like this occurs it's because the drive itself is bad, and you can't do much about it, except get a new drive. Also, make sure you're trying other discs. Just to confirm it's not the disc itself which is bad.

    my advice would be to call customer service and see if they can replace it, if not, for about $100 you can get a good quality dual-layer DVD burner off of newegg

    None of which will work with his laptop without an external case. This can be done without much trouble, but kinda defeats the purpose of a laptop right? I would call Customer Service to see what they offer.
