How old are the discs, and what kind of data is on them? It may just be
that your cd drive does not read them correctly and the other drives you
have tried do work-- regardless of the operating system.

Did you create the CDs with packet writing software such as Direct CD? If
so, open them on another PC and then close selecting the option to close the
CD so it can be read on any computer. Windows XP does not support reading
such CDs without additional third party software.
