Were all the CDs written using the same CD Writer? If so, then the CD Writer may have the problem writing in higher speeds. If not, then the only solution left is to service your CD ROM drive.

Where do you live btw? Anyways go to a service centre and get it replaced. And then exchange it for a combo so that you can see the Digit DVD's too

Yeah It could be the problem of the CDWriter also.

Hi
I too faced the same probs, but finally I found out that CD was also the culprit... Check the quality of the CD...
