I never thought of that.  It turns out that the DVD-ROM in my laptop has no 
trouble reading the files.  I only get the read errors on my desktop machine, 
in the drive where I created the disk.  

I'll have to see if the drive can read other DVD's.  I'm not sure if I've ever 
used the drive to play a movie, or something of the sort.  (Time to check and 
see if the system is still under warrantee.)
