If you use low quality recordable media or if any of your discs have scratches and or smudges this can happen.

You have an infinity right? Why dont you install HDL to your memory card and install your back-ups to an HDD with winhiip on your PC. this way you can boot HDL from the memory card with no disc ant all in your PS2 and then boot your back-up on your HDD from HDL. Then who cares if your laser isnt up to the job. For those of you reading this you too should consider doing this to prolong the life of your laser anyway.
