Yersinia, I found this happens a lot with older machines - I get a
lot of trayloaders and 350 iMacs donated by a private high school
which I set up in some our smaller rural schools. I think I am pretty
careful, keeping them in a CD folder distributed by Apple New Zealand
when they are not being used, but I have had a lot of disks go like
this, which I have just put down to dirty or damaged CD drives in the
machines. I have learnt to always keep the original at home and use
copies! Only problem being I can't copy the OSX system disks so a few
of them have gone west too!
Sorry I haven't got a better answer
Cheers

Hi Listers,
Presuming a bootable CD-ROM is not folded, spindled, mutilated,
stepped
on -- or given to someone's dog, cat or child to chew or scratch up --
what would cause it to suddenly fail to boot and instead give this
message:
"This disk is unreadable by this Computer. Would you like to
initialize?"
