I have an optical drive which was operating poorly and apparently
botched my two disks. I tried cleaning the drive (with the NeXT kit)
but I do not know if the cleaning worked, since both disks are bad.

When I put one in, if it doesn't spit it out immediately, the machine
says it needs to be initialized. All goes fine, for a while, then I start
getting read and write errors, and the machine says it couldn't write the
disk`s label.

Does it sound like the media is bad or is the drive still bad? Can an
optical drive permanently disable an optical disk?

Please respond via email. I have to go through all sorts of contortions
to read the NeXT groups at Drexel.

Thanks.
