Without knowing what drive you have and what exact tests you are doing, it's
impossible to say. No 2 drives report the exact same thing as far as CD
errors are concerned. Total C1 counts are meaningless, it's the graph itself
that matters. Average C1 counts and max values also help interpretation.

As to C1, there are no specs for these, and no upper limit has ever been
documented that interferes with reading a disc. C2 errors are bad, there
should not be any, but again fairly high C2 levels are often tolerated.
C1/C2 are speed-relative, the faster you scan the disc the higher the levels
will be.

Suggest you drop by http://club.cdfreaks.com/ and read up on error testing.

...
in my nero cdspeed tool, an audio cd check reveals about 1500 c1 errors
and 0 c2 errors.

I downloaded and tried cd/dvd Diagnostic by infinidyne and its analysis
says there are 200,000 plus 'soft errors' and no hard errors.

How is this to be interpeted
