Also, copy a few of the unreadable files via Explorer from the CD drive to
the Desktop & see if you can view them that way.
At least that will give an indication as to whether they're corrupt or not.
Occasionally I have what appear to be legit jpg files which cannot be
opened.
Usually I opt to open them with Irfanview & then rename, save them to the
Desktop, delete the originals and they work fine after that
