Problem with CD/DVD drive

[Johannes Wiedersich <johannes@physik.blm.tu-muenchen.de>]

I recently get loads of messages like that from my cd/dvd drive (hdc); 
using factory disks (the silver pressed ones, not burned stuff), which 
give no problems on other drives and strangely also work on winxp pro on 
the very same machine/drive.

Is winxp more error tolerant or what else could be the problem.

Thanks for any help.
