I have an official CDROM for Debian which I've used for a good many months without problems. Suddenly I'm getting numerous errors in reading the disk; I can't give the exact error messages but they are of the form
"Atapi reset... error on reset.." After a good deal of this it resumes reading the disk and eventually reaches the end, but says it has encountered Error 1. I thought it might be a hardware problem but it reads other cdroms without difficulty, including other Debian disks. I've cleaned the disk and the laser window. This is on a Toshiba Satellite 4000CDT. I don't see how a cdrom disk could become unreadable unless it were badly scratched, which this is not. Can anyone suggest what could be happening? If it is a hardware problem it's still under warranty, but I could hardly claim this since all other disks are read properly.
