Other CDROMs work fine,
Any comments.


Either:

a) They sent you a bad CD (it's happened before)

or

b) You've got the CD in upside down

I installed a multi function CD&DVD +-R&RW . It has big problems
reading many of my old CDs and I have to revert to my old machine,
sharing out its CD drive. I've been told this is because there are two
technologies used for CDs these days: pits in a metal layer, and
photographic "pits". The latter is common because it is very cheap.
