Ok for future issues, I will submise this is a copy of YOUR original.

Read the bad disk with isobuster (latest free build does) it will run outside the fragile windows file system and most time it will recover the date from media, I would then burn a backup copy and bin the fooked one, you can slow down the reading of the drive by nero cd/dvd speed or such and swap between 2 different rom drives during its attemp to read media, ive did this many times and the hardest one ever was my Madona album from 1987, lucky i saved it and burned to a cdr but i did have to use addition of cd/dvd polish to get it to read.

A given CD/DVD (original or burnt) may work in a higher-quality (better brand, higher priced) drive but not in a lower-quality one. Good brands are: Plextor (have always been the best, but very expensive!), Pioneer (became the best very recently), LG (was the best in the relatively recent past but not anymore) and Sony (was the best in the farther past, until a few years ago). I wouldn't recommend other brands...
