Re: Problem with a CD

Hi all,

In short: I have a CD that windows XP can read but that linux cannot.

I have a mini-CD (with a diameter of 8 cm) that I am trying to read. I
have tried two computers:

[...]

I have error messages in my logs:
on computer #1, they look like:
|hdc: command error: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }
|hdc: command error: error=0x54 { AbortedCommand LastFailedSense=0x05 }
|ide: failed opcode was: unknown
|end_request: I/O error, dev hdc, sector 5008
|Buffer I/O error on device hdc, logical block 1252
on computer #2, they are simpler:
|end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 5008
|Buffer I/O error on device sr0, logical block 1252

On both computers, I have the errors on the same sectors/blocks.

For the two offending files, the errors already occur on the beginings of
the files.

Of course, all of this point to a defective CD, except that on both
computers, I can read the files without any problem with windows XP
(well, actually, I have only read avseq01.dat, which is a video file. I
haven't tried the other troublesome file.)

Do you have any way of checking whether windows reads the file
correctly, or just fails to detect the error?
