Have you tried it in older Windows versions?

Does the destination PC have a CD-RW/DVD-RW drive or just a reader?

Is it definitely a CD not a DVD? (Made that mistake before!) If DVD, is 
it DVD-R or DVD+R? Or even dual layer?

Can you boot the Vista PC from a Linux USB key and see if it will then 
read the CD, just to confirm it isn't a hardware compatibility issue? 
(Alternatively, I think some live CDs can be booted into memory and the 
disk ejected - Puppy? DSL?)
