drive errors, do they indicate a bad drive?

[Geoffrey <esoteric@3times25.net>]

I'm receiving some errors for a drive that has been working fine up to 
very recently.  I don't know if the drive has gone bad, or if a recent 
upgrade has cause the problems.  I'm running a very current SuSE 9.2. 
The errors I'm receiving:

ATAPI device hdd:
  Error: Not ready -- (Sense key=0x02)
  Incompatible medium installed -- (asc=0x30, ascq=0x00)
  The failed "Read Cd/Dvd Capacity" packet command was:
  "25 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 "


K3B complains that the media is invalid.

I can burn on these same disks on three other boxes.

Any suggestions/insights would be appreciated.
