Why won't my old (1989) CD read in my DVD-RW drive?
I'm trying to copy a lot of my old CDs into my iTunes library, but one disc won't play in my laptop's DVD-RW drive. The disc is clean, and plays on my BD player, but it does have some rainbow-looking striations on the label side.
The laptop's drive works fine -- I just tested it with a DVD.
The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A215; the drive is Matshita UJ-8505.
Any ideas??
If it matters, the CD in question is James Horner's soundtrack from the 1989 film, Glory.

Sometimes disc drives just don't like the format of a disc, or if theres a scratch in just the right place it won't read it. If you got a usb disc drive try that, or use a different computer, put it on a flash drive, then move it to your laptop.
