Was the surface of the dvd (the non-label side) damaged when it came out of the drive? Try it again after the pc has been rebooted to see if the problem is temporary.

I'm not sure what "the cd showed up on the drive daemon maked" means. Can you explain a bit more please?

also, i have notice on disks, if the front side is scrath, so will it be on the other. So if their is a scratch on either sides, it might simply be that.
