Would it help to know the detailed specs of the machine? All I can come up with off the top of my head is that it's a Duron 650. I'll post more tonight hopefully..
Thanks for the suggestion....
You might try burning the CD at a lower speed. It is very interesting that the same drive that works in one system gets a media failure in the other.
Do you have the drive setup as a master or slave? If it is a slave you might try setting it up as a master.
