I had the same thing for the longest time, and it happened whether there was a disk in the drive or not.

It finally went away when I gave my DVD drive to my mother and bought a new one...now she has the same thing on her machine.

In my case, the culprit was the drive itself. If it's really driving you nuts, try swapping it out with a different drive.
