I returned my 10 pack for the same reason.  Evidently this CD set is just 
a bunch of factory seconds, with virutally no quality control.   Of the 
10 CDs in the pack I got, only *3* were even READABLE by my CDROM drive 
(I've got dozens others I got from *reputible* companies that work just 
fine, so I know it's not the drive).

Return them and get your money back.  This 10-pack thing reeks of a SCAM.
