I've had this problem with CDs before. What I've always had success doing is rinsing the CD with water and shaking and patting it dry. In my experience it's most likely the CD rather than the drive.

I am trying to install OS X "jaguar' into a WS I/292 and keep getting a mysterious message about the CD. The machine can't read it and wants to either eject or initialize. If I am patient it will finally read the CD after ejecting and reinserting it a few times. But with the installation of the OS requiring a startup from the CD, this is rather difficult (though I did try consecutive start-restart cycles).
What would cause this problem? Is it the CD-ROM? Or something else?
