Disks that seemed to work fine in my disk drive was unreadable on another. When I finally brought the drive into the shop, I was told that the drive was mis-aligned. Apparently, if the drive head becomes misaligned, it will still read disks created by that drive (since they were created by the mis-aligned drive). I don't know if this is the same problem, (whether you've tried different Plus's and SE's) but I hope this helps.
