A couple of things you can try Chris. Are the disks clean and unscratched?
Also try disconnecting the drive that seems to be having an issue and connecting up just the other one (make sure your jumper settings are correct).
If the other drive is playing films I'd suspect the disks.

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!
