What make and models of drives, please? This could help resolve the
issue quicker.
I can only agree that the drive cannot support the media. Note, there
is an issue with CD-RW's that I only learned about a few weeks ago and
being able to be written/read in certain drives and this has to do
with the speed of the drive.
For the cost of CD's, it isn't work the cost of CD-RW's anymore,
except for test burns.
