I have this problems everywhere (not only ATAng), if I'm trying to read some of my really old CD-Rs. You should know that they are aging. Check the surface of the CD-R (the surface is actually the label!). On few CD-Rs which have been in my car the label begins to break in the outter areas. This can have several reasons: - too much UV light (sun) - too high humidity - and also touching the CD-R on the outter area while holding it If you notice that your CD-R label looks strange and if you need the data, you should backup it fast.
