trying to restore pc
3 CD players on one PC? - a bit of an overkill g
However, as the problem *may* be just down to a 'worn-out' or faulty CD-ROM (I'm guessing that CD-ROM #1 is more than a few years old), your simplest (and cheapest!) approach would be to try physically transposing/substituting player #1 with player #3 (or #2) and then see if the problem follows the transposition. Then review your next step.

trying to restore pc
Whoops!
I've just re-read your post and suspect that you really mean that you are referring to a faulty 'Restore' CD which is #1 in a set of three (OEM CD's) If so, you may have to contact the OEM to see if they are willing (and able) to supply a new set. An possible option would be to see if the #1 CD can be read from another PC and if so, see if it can be copied to a new CD. A different player just might read it.

Dry it thoroughly with another soft cloth. Do not touch the data surface with your fingers - hold the CD by the edges and/or the center hole. Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
