So, could you please then advise ultimate method for cleaning cd-drives?
I know from VHS- player, audio-cassettes player experience, that buying those cleaning cassettes was never productive or helpful.
I had to take some spirit and clean heads and mechanics manually.
Does it work in the same manner with cd drives? I know that laser is different - less pollution, but anyway, they get dusty and dirty.
And who knows, maybe that's the case for Jolie also.

Another possible solution
Jolie. Another thing I would like to say. Just consulted with my friend on your topic.
It seems, that it is a problem with quality of that particular CD or even with that particular serie of cds. So, even replacing the cd in store will not work 100%.
There are several reasons your drive cannot read cd:
- laser beam is too weak to read that cd
- laser beam too powerful to read that cd
- angle of tracks and beam
In other words the calibration and ballance of laser beam that cannot read that particular cd.
(omg, am I writing all this ? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> )
So, the solution is
- to replace cd and see if this work
- to replace dvd-drive (I suggest PLEXTOR <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />)
