I am not angry, and there is nothing angry about what I wrote.

At their MAX speed, NOT at a lower speed.

Whatever.

Drives get old. Laser heads sag, fall out of calibration and refuse to
read disc data, much less the disc type indicator on the hub. I have
several old drives that work perfectly if they are simply inverted
(turned upside down). I am not saying that is what his problem is though,
nor that operating a drive inverted is a solution. Merely that laser
head calibration may be the cause IF the drive is very old, or has a
large number of operating hours on it.
Answer? Do not attempt to use those discs in that drive.
