You say the Audio tracks are good on the discs? You can play the audio in an AUDIO player (or your CDROM drive using the CD Player)?

If you don't see data on the disc when you pop it into your computer cdrom drive, you don't have a good burn. If you see an audio disc, but the audio isn't really good audio, it's definately a bad burn. If you have audio and no data, it sounds like Nero burned only the first session of the disc, which was AUDIO.

You can try extracting the original .CDI files to your hard drive using CDMAGE, and then follow the Echelon self-boot tutorial to burn the discs manually.

The July2000 mfg date should be just fine. I've got a JUNE2000 dated machine and have no problem with backups.

One other thing: If you see bands in the data on the disc (gaps between different sessions), it is most certainly a bad burn, possibly due to defective burner (I had an old Memorex burner that started misburning discs and one noticable effect was banding in the data area of the disc). The problem with my old Memorex was said to be a lubrication problem on the head rails. (Just an FYI, nothing more).
