[aclug-L] Re: CD rom drive fail?

[Clint Brubakken <cabrubak@xxxxxxxxxx>]

sometimes certain cd's can't be read by certain drives older drives, if
this is a cdr copy of debian, that might be the case, and the cleaning
cd might be special type. Did you test any other cd on that machine
other than the debian and the cd cleaner? Try another data cd, like a
game or program cd, or if all else fails maybe an aol cd, and see if it
can be read
