 I've tried ten from each pack, and they all rattle and refuse to load. I 
refuse to believe that 20 DVD's would be faulty, that’s nearly half the two 
packs! But I have found the DVD that I burnt the other day, and that’s loaded 
okay. 

Only one OS and one machine, this is it! But I've discovered that the machine 
is not level, its leaning to one side, so tomorrow I'll try to get it all 
level and try again. But I will try loading the DVD off-centre and see if that 
makes any difference.

Sharon.
