Puter won't rip cd's anymore!

[Udders]

When you stick a music cd (tried older ones aswell as new ones) into the puter all seems to work (rip) ok to start with but then goes tits up! It brings up the picture on the cd case and lists the songs ok and starts to rip the first song, gets to 10% then all the songs turn to "error" and then spits the cd out! Any ideas?

The CD/DVD writer in my 6 year old desktop packed up. Well, the IDE port on the mobo packed up. So, as I also have a netbook which does not have a CD/DVD drive I invested about £25 in a CD/DVD writer that plugs into a USB port. All hunky dory now.

This is the one I bought. Runs off the USB cable, no external power needed so great for laptops. Supplied USB cable is a bit short.
