Yup, if the drive doesnt see it your in trouble I am afraid. A lot of 
optical discs degrade over time (and I dont think  most people know this 
when they do backups.) I used to work at Philips optical labs and 
Plextor drives were always the benchmark we worked too. That said, the 
Philips drives are not that bad ;)
