Wow! This message...peated ad nauseum on my original mdv2008 install disk:

In attempting to read a data disk, the answer is yes, but it takes two to
three minutes to display the contents of the disk (all accompanied by frantic
disk seeking sounds). Clicking on a folder on the disk and it takes another
two to three minutes to read the disk. If I try to copy a file to my HDD, it
does about 44 bytes and then stalls. Two or three minutes later, it'll do a
bit more and stall...
That's shed more light on the problem...I installed Mandriva last week from
data disks, and toward the end of the install, it started to have trouble
reading the disks. I tried to install lilo at the configurations step and
gave up because it couldn't read the disk (so I use grub now).
I don't have access to a USB external DVD drive so I can't test that to see if
it works...
