Hi Lora.  I think the scanning laser in your dvd/cd burner is dirty.  You'll
need a cleaning cd, you know those with bristles, pour some mitilated spirit
on the bristles and put it in your cd drive.  Allow it to spin for at least
tfifteen minutes.  You can get cd cleaners from good cd stores or DIY stores
like KMart.  If it doesn't work, then perhaps the belt that controls the
spinning of your cd drive is damaged, in which case you'll have to replace
yor burner.  If you are using a specialty disk burning software like nero or
easy cd creator, it will be good to tune down your cd burning speed.  Fast
speed burning may not transfer all data from dvds to hard disk effectively.
Cheers!
