Answer #1

Sounds like your cd is either dirty or scratched try cleaning it or buying a cd buffer which will resurface it removing the scratches. Or if it’s the first time you’ve tried to use the burned cd, it may also be that the file is corrupt and that it was burnt wrong try burning onto another cd and or dvd.

Answer #2

ok well the cd is bad!! Like it’s not reading it! So try it in a different one!!
