This disk is physically okay it seems.

cdck first tries to check an audio disc, gets an error, and then checks 
if the disc is actually an audio disc.
It finds it is not an audio disc but an iso966o disc containing data, 
and bootable too. All sectors are physically okay.

Which still does not mean the cd can actually be booted, it only means 
that data from the disc can be read without errors. It says nothing 
about the data contents.
