Following up on what Net Llama & Roger have said, what type of CD is it, CD-R or CD-R/W? Have you noticed your CD drive laboring to read the CD, i.e., seeming to thrash and then failing? I have a CD reader that is only about a year or so old, which can not read CD-R/W's, no matter how slowing burned. It would labor for what seemed an eternity and eventually just give up. It had no problem with CD-R's, however. I replaced the drive with another, newer one of a different make and the problem went away.
