What does this mean? The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block.

Sumtin to be worried about?

This is on my new dell (no "dude your gettin a dell") But it is a sweet comp

1.9
512
gf3 ti500
19in fdtrini
24x burner
lite-on dvd which is extremely loud!
santa cruz

this means one of several things:

CDR burning protocols have very robust error checking and resolving proceedures, but at some point it
throws up its hands and reports a bad (unreadable) block. In other words -

stop buying cheap ten cent media
buy media that actually works at 24X
your burner/DVDROM laser is not set right (you gave no hint which CDROM 0 is)(Get a Pioneer)

best I can do with virtually no info

This happens to me when my CDROM drive has trouble reading some old CDRWs that I have. I don't get too worried about it.
