ok, how can this be?

[GizmoC]

I burnt some CDs with my LiteOn 2410B, then I ran CDSpeed and it reported thousands of errors.

then I took those same CDs to a friend's PC and ran CDspeed wit his LG 48x writer and it reported NO ERRORS!
How can this be?

Now, I have some possible explanations of this:

1) My LiteON is a lot better at detecting the errors and the LG writer sucks at detecting the errors.

OR

2) The LiteOn sucks at reading/correcting the errors while the LG is good at reading/correcting the errors. Now, suppose this is the case, what is the solution to this problem for my LiteOn, is there anything I can do to make my LiteOn read/correct errors better.
My other question is, lets suppose I continue using this LiteOn, does that mean that over a period of time these errors will "spread" accross the CD?

Also, I have a basic question about the type of errors reported by CDSpeed... what errors are these? Are these errors created during the WRITING of the CD or during the READING of the CD? Now, analytically speaking, since the same CD gives thousands of errors on my LiteOn but NO ERRORs on the LG drive, I am inclined to beleive that these errors are "READING" errors.

Same answer as cdrinfo forum:

Something that worked for me, specially when installing games or programs (because it looks like installers are more "sensitive" to read slowdowns) is to set the read speed at 40x in Nero DriveSpeed. I have a lite-on 48125W. Use a lower read setting. I think the same as you, these drives are not too good at reading/correcting errors.

Why did you open another thread on the same topic you did before?

Maybe your 24x LiteON is starting to fail?

My 24x TDK [rebadged LiteON] has never given me any of the problems you're experiencing GizmoC.
