Trouble ripping dvd's with acidrip and terminal

[SGC622]

I had a dual boot installation of vista and Kubuntu 9.10 on my computer, i primarily used kubuntu and was phasing out windows, then all of a sudden I was in the process of creating an ISO file with KISO and Kubuntu i assume crashed and went back to the login screen, and thats where it stayed despite my attempts to type in my password to login, it just kept resetting back to the login screen. so in short after my attempts to salvage it i ended up deleting windows and reinstalling kubuntu 9.10 on that partition and leaving the old partition with my malfunctioning kubuntu as it was to drag the data to my new kubuntu install.

My question to you is before the whole ordeal with kubuntu crashing i was using Acidrip to back up my dvd collection and it was going fine, i had two drives for one the path was /dev/dvd and for the other drive it was /media/cdrom0 and i hit load and it would bring up the dvd info and i'd rip it on my computer no problem. Ever since the new install of kubuntu acidrip keeps saying either "no valid files found" or "cant read disk faulty?" i have no idea whats wrong. i am using the same drive paths, i even tried /dev/sr0 and i got a little bit of loading from acidrip like it was gonna bring up the dvd but it eventually said "cant read disk faulty?" again. I have tried reinstalling it and everything. aswell i tried creating an iso with terminal by typing in.

cp /dev/sr0 file.iso

and i get

scott@home:~$ cp /dev/sr0 file.iso
cp: reading `/dev/sr0': Input/output error
scott@home:~$

its like kubuntu's communication with my hardware has gone to sh*t any one have this problem or know how i can go about fixing it?

can you see your hdd or the /home partition? What format is it? Can you read any of the other files? There is a chance that when your system crashed, it messed with the paths routed on your system.

going back and reading again I have another question... was it having trouble reading the dvd backups and then it crashed or did it crash first?

I'll answer your question to the best of my ability. First i can see my hard drive the one that the kubuntu im currently using is installed on and i see the other partition my crashed version of kubuntu was on, both are ext4 and i reused the swap partition from the crashed linux os for my freshly installed one. when i created the old one i configured it to have the home folder be "/" username is the same, so is password. and by me reusing the swap from the crashed os be the problem?.

This is my current disk setup
New Volume(NTFS)
/media/New Volume

Volume(ext4) [My old kubuntu os still capable of booting to it]
/media/b208af2c-4bcb-475d-9b50-f2925cb250f9

Volume(ext4) [My new Kubuntu os]
/

Video (NTFS)
/media/Video

going back and reading again I have another question... was it having trouble reading the dvd backups and then it crashed or did it crash first?

i had problems with Kiso on the first linux os that crashed, it was unstable for me. and i created an iso of the movie hot fuzz and after it created it thats when the problem happened just reset itself to login and thats where its been ever since. thats why i deleted windows and reinstalled kubuntu which im on now. and kept the old kubuntu to grap my files off of. im starting to think because my drive was named the same and my paths were the same i may have messed something up. do you think i should drag my old files off the crashed os and deleted that partition to avoid further mix up and see if that fixes the problem?
