I've had the same thing happen with one set of my 10.2 CD's, and it's
because the CD has one of those giant rub marks on it. Luckily we had
backups of it, but they started doing that too, due to some scratches
on them. You might try cleaning them with water, and drying them with
a cloth (Dry in an outward motion, not circular).
