cd-rom drive question

[pennylane]

is it possible for a cd-rom drive to not read ALL of the files but some of them when installing? like occasionally skip a file "just because"?
i once had a computer freezing problem but somebody told me it was possible the cd-rom was doing that. it was a kenwood 52x multi-beam. i never heard of anything like that ever...

 

[pennylane]

anybody? i want to be able to put the kenwood back to use if there aren't any problems with it.

It could be possible one file was corrupted in transfer or somthing. Not very likley, I don't think

Whoever told you that is full of bull $H17. I'd say go ahead and try to use it again in a system which is currently stable. If you encounter stability problems, then you know that it's the CDROM.
