I'm coming in on the tail end of this one, but ran into something similar
myself recently with a Stormix CD burned here (work) which I tried to use
at home in a 5-6 year old CD.  No go.  Worked here on a 3 year old system
without a hitch.

A student of mine pointed out that in his experience the older drives can
have trouble with new CD's, particularly if they are burned on the higher
capacity discs (that's what I had used, even though it was an image under
650Mb).

I haven't tried a normal capacity disc there yet.
