my friend made a copy of a CD on his CD-ROM burner but whenever i try to 
read it from my drive, it doesn't work. in DOS i get that "abort, retry, 
fail?" msg and in windows, it says there's no CD in the drive. with all 
other CD-ROMs it works without any problem.  i'm not sure if this has 
more to do with the original CD my friend copied it from. with that 
original i was also having problems getting my drive to recognise it. he 
says he hasn't heard any complaints/ hardware troubles from anyone 
before. 

where would the error be? something to do with my CD drive? (i only got 
it - a 4X creative MPC2 drive - in 2nd half of 95, so i don't think it's 
that obsolete) i've updated my windows drivers with a july release from 
creative labs but it hasn't changed things any....

(please email copies of replies as well. thanx!!)
