Can't read CD in linux, can in xp

[Joel Hammer]

At work I created a data cd with images, large and small (300kb up to
33 megs), with easy CD creator or some such.  I ran the option to make
the cd readable by all cd readers. This was on windows 2000.

At home, this disk refuses to load properly with caldera 2.4 on one box
and lindows on a second box. The transfer just sorta gives up, with the
few images that got transferred having file errors. I double boot xp on
the second machine, so I booted into xp, and the images transferred OK
to the hard drive. And, they are readible when I boot back into lindows
and read them off the windows hard drive. So, it's not the cdrom rom, and
the images appear to be intact after being transferred up with xp. 

So, the question is, what happened? Why can't linux read this cd?

Thanks,

Joel
