You know, I have a sneaking suspicion that your problem might - just *might* - be related to the fact that you "got it off the internet, and it's a burned cd."\n\nCall me crazy if you want, but I have a sneaking suspicion...

The above answers are good, but they left out the most important part! Your cleaning strokes MUST go from the center of the disk straight out to the outside edge.\n\nNever clean going round-and-round!\n\nThe reason is that the CD contains error-correction code that will allow it to recover from a few errors, but if in your cleaning you leave (or create) a scratch that closely overlays the circular CD track, then there will be too much lost information for the CD player to recover.\n\nWhy start from the center? Because that's where the tracks start, so if you end up leaving a little gunk on the CD, it's better that the mess end up on the outer edge, where there's probably no data (unless you're cleaning a full 72 minute disc, and there aren't many of those).

You can try 3 things.\n\n1) get a repair kit\n\n2) try re-burning the cd in the computer\n\n3) http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/\n\nEAC can repair many errors and give you a wave file which you can then burn to another cd\n\n4) buy a new one used on Amazon

That usually is a good sign that your installation disc is damaged/corrupted.  You may want to obtain a fresh copy.

I think the CD you are using is corrupted. Bye a new CD or get it exchanged. See whether your CD has any scratches on that

I'm assuming that you are trying to copy a video cd, well either the CD is scratched or dirty, or it was recorded with errors, or you drive is having problems, if the drive is fine, you can clean well the disk and if is not scrathed I suggest you to use a program that is reading trough errors, that will be Alchool 120% or Fhantom CD

It wouldn't be an issue if the disc is scratched. It would be more of a machine issue. Take in the player(s) and see if the technician can find out if anything is wrong with them, I'm sure he/she will only have to level off the disc player so it will play smoothly.\n\nBest Wishes & Good Luck

You want to use either water or a VERY mild cleaning solution - nothing abrasive.  Use a clean, non-shedding cloth (like an old, soft t-shirt), and clean the radii of the circle (meaning wipe from center to edge or vice-versa - not across the CD); just a straight line from center out to edge.

whatever you do do-not format your hard-drive at the first hint of trouble\npeople who advise this have no idea of how it sounds to those who actually know about viruses.\nit is the equivalent of re-spraying an entire vehicle to get rid of 1 scratch only to have it scratched again the next-day!\nget AVG or spyware doctor and pay for a legitimate copy.

this cd maybe protect of copy or need to clean \ntry to use programes like "VirtualDrive" that copy all the cd data and ignore reading problems

You got to the store and buy a new one... A cracked CD cannot be repaired. Sorry!!\nCheers\nM-7

Unless you change the fileformat the qualiy wont change (ie human sences cant pickup the change).\nIf you just copy the music from one cd to another cd then you will get the second CD with no notisable difference from first. If master CD has scratches it will affect the quality of second.

there are machines that do CD repair, but i dont believe that they work very well in the first place, especially because they only sell in catalogs, aside from that i dont think there are many ways to repair a scratched CD, pop it in and try to burn a copy (cross ur fingers and hope it works)\n\ndo not wash CD's it will only do more harm

If your CD hasn't been scratched, your CD ROM is not properly detecting the CD.\nTry with the other CD ROM.
