Can't say. What do your event logs say? What's different, when it works,
from when it doesn't work? Is your PC still under warranty? Have you tried
Sony support?

I am having the same problem with a Sony drive (not a Sony system though) and
just received an RMA from my vendor.

Does it do this with a commercial music CDs or software installation CDs
or only with burned CDs? If it is the latter, then it is an issue with
the burning of the CD or it was burned on another computer and the OS is
having difficulty reading it.
