I've experienced that problem too. On one occasion, I simply opened and 
closed the CD drive, then it read ok (whew). Fedora has a step in the 
install process that reads the discs to verify that they're ok. I think 
it's prudent to run that step at the IF, even if the discs have passed 
previously on other machines. CD drives vary. In general, I think that 
the slower the burn, the better the chance of being read successfully on 
older drives.
