Thanks. Looked promising, but that too seems to have failed. Not
entirely sure how to interpret it (no Help?). I inserted the disc and
ran the program, pressing no buttons. After about a minute of progress
under 'Auto Blank' the large Drive button turned red and the 'Blank'
button changed to 'Clear', with a red X on it. Can you translate that
for me please?

Is there any program that will actually give me a definitive statement
along the lines of 'This disc is unusable because of xxx.' ?
