Buffer IO errors on the optical drive/how to check drive

When I installed arch linux initially, I got a few buffer IO errors on my optical drive but everything still installed fine.  Recently, I tried to boot from a gparted live CD and got buffer IO errors there as well (though it still booted fine).  I just tried a Knoppix live CD and it had no buffer IO errors.  All CDs are clean and recieve no buffer IO errors on my other computer.

This is a brand new laptop with a slot load drive.  Is there a way I can test the drive for read errors in Arch?
