Seconded, particularly if you're trying to access the CDs from a drive that you did not burn the CDs with, and especially if you had multiple sessions and/or unlocked sessions on those discs.

I don't know why, but if I burned a DVD (perhaps CDs as well, can't remember) with my laptop, either one or both of my desktop's drives would have problems with it. If it didn't give me a "corrupt disc" error, I wouldn't see any data. In order to boost compatibility, I always ensured that the disc was finalized - no further writing possible, no multisessions. I also had to do this with my car's MP3 player - CDs that were burned and not finalized would cause the player to claim that the disc was corrupt.
