Whenever I have a CD with a large file burned on it (real large, like 600-700 megs), when I put it back in my CD drive, I cannot read it. Explorer will see the file present on the CD, but when I try to open it, it will hang. The CD spins up at a very slow speed, and will sit, apparently doing nothing, all day. On the few occasions when I can try to copy the file to the HDD to open it, it usually gets through most of the file before getting a "cyclic read error." What the hell gives? I am running Windows XP Pro, SP1. It worked before I did my biannual rebuild, but it sure isnt working now.

Any ideas?
