When you say that you "popped in a dvd drive", do you mean you put in one of the DVD drives that originally came with the 600 series? At this point, those drives would be at least 10 years old. And they were not that great to begin with. In particular, many of them had problems reading dual-layer DVDs and they could be pretty finnicky about CD-RWs. To eliminate the drive and disk as potential culprits, you should replace the drive with a newer (new within the last year or three) drive, and you should use a freshly burnt, single-layer, CD-R (not CD-RW).
