Problem copying a CD

I have successfully copied a few CD's I own, but recently ran into a problem doing so with one. On track 10 of a 12 track CD I got an error called "underbuffer". I tried on another PC with other software, no good. Tried at 4x and 16x write, same problem. Tried isolating only 3 tracks (so there was much more tha enough space), same problem. Do I have a defective CD or is there something else wrong here. Both PC's operate fine, copy other CD's.

CD copy problem solved! Got another original of the CD and it copied fine. Lesson: Because a CD plays fine doesn';t mean it copies fine. Thanks to all for good input, however.

I have now tried using the Adaptec Easy CD Creator 4 and a single drive at 2x write speed (slowest I could set). The result showed no errors and so I think I'm in "Fat City". I then go play it and pow, tracks 10 and 11 hang up. I put the original in the same player and it is fine. Should I just give up? Could the original CD have a flaw one cannot hear or an error code built in on purpose?
