The discs your trying arn't ones that have failed to write previously are they?

<Dumb question time> you are actually putting the discs in the right way up? I only ask cos its caught me out once or twice :(

You say you need it for college, so with the Christmas holidays upon us now might be ideal time to get it sent away and sorted.
