This is often a difficult error to troubleshoot. It can be DVD it can be drive, it can be controller (or connection) problem. If you browse Google for this search string you will find all king of weird stories.

The key here is isolate the real culprit. The first hypothesis that needs to be testing is that the disk is bad.

Have you tried to boot the CD image with VMware or Bochs? All occasions
I had this error appeared to be speed incompatibilities between drive and
CD media
(I have spent *many* hours to find this non-existing problem too),
while the CD was perfectly mountable etc., but was just not bootable (on
most systems).
