Can you play it by using the play button on the CD drive instead of software, with linux running? With windoze running on the same box? With a dysfunctional DOS boot floppy in the floppy drive so it's stuck at "Missing operating system"? > As mentioned in my first post, the same cd plays fine on standalone > cd player.

You mentioned that you copied this CD by playing it on your standalone CD player and recording a bunch of .wavs. (Or just one big .wav?) Did you transfer the signal as an analogue signal or via S/PDIF? If it was a bunch of .wavs as opposed to one big one, what happens when you reorder them and burn a CD with a different first track?
