This happens if track 1 doesn't start at sector 0, but some other sector
(you can verify with 'cdparanoia -vQ'). The data from sector 0 to sector
where track 1 beggins is track 1 pre-gap, and usually is silence, but
sometimes contains 'hidden' tracks.  When ripping with -B switch, cdparanoia
saves this data as track 0.

Your drive obviously cannot rip track 1 pre-gap (hence the errors), so you
can use 'cdparanoia -B 1-' and cdparanoia will skip it and rip all other
tracks.
