I guess he meant reinstalling the OS (Windows etc) and not buying a complete new system.
BTW: CD-Burners you are using often are the first to break anyway, and 3 years is pretty decent for the CD-RW. Moreover, you can use this opportunity to updgrade to a DVD burner - I'd recommend the Lite On LDW-851S, I paid about 70€ for it (8xDVD+R, 4xDVD+RW, 4xDVD-R, 2xDVD-R, 40xCD-R); Lite On's are pretty cheap but have provide great quality (I must know, it's my third Lite On drive now).
Just a final test before you buy a new piece of hardware though:
If you can, remove the CD burner and install it into a PC that's known to work with Nero or other burn applications. If it does not work there, it's most likely dead.
