Running a disk checking program like scandisk, fsck, Norton’s Disk Doctor or
some other program appropriate to the operating system.
Reinstalling the operating system making sure the drive is formatted. If the
option allows it, perform a full format and not a quick format. A full format will
make a thorough check of the drive for faulty sectors.
The cable may be faulty or not connected to the hard disk drive properly.
3. CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive not reading disks

General poor quality disks or CD/DVD burner.

Faulty drive — when CD-ROM dives first came onto the market, the quality
was poor and it seemed as though they were a disposable item. These days
the quality and reliability seems much improved.
