So what do you suggest? You can see from the logs that the device is having difficulty reading your damaged CD. You can do what Windows-95 does (ignore the errors and pretend everything is fine), or what Windows-98 and Windows-2000/Prof does (blue-screen, and re-boot), or you can try like hell to read the files like Linux does. What do you suggest?
