Will the disk copy to the hard drive by using the CD reader on the computer
in question using Windows Explorer. Will it successfully copy on other
computers? If it copies on other computers but not the one in question, the
drive is bad or the disk is marginally dirty. I would suspect the drive
being bad however.
