I have had many problems with older CD-ROM drives reading CD-R and CD-RW media as well. Most recently, trying to make and use a boot CD to install Linux on a Pentium 150 Laptop. A suggestion to complete the burns at 1x in a Linux forum worked for me. Burns take awhile, however, the drive reads and boots the CDs just fine now. You may want to give that a try.
