Yup. This sounds right:
If two different boot disks are having the same problem, I would tend
to suspect the drive rather than the disks. Can you boot another Mac
with them (or the same Mac with another CD-ROM drive)?
Enemies of all CDs: heat, cold, light, and scratches, of course.
But CD technology is not eternal. The chemical components do break down
over time. I've heard that CD-Rs and RWs won't last as long as
professionally made CDs.
I've not researched the issue, though. My expertise is all hearsay!
