Importing tracks theory?

[quantiko]

I recently puchased a Complete rack mount hoster system form MTU and I am haveing problems importing tracks from discs. I was was told by another longtime user that the media may be of a poor quality and the drive reading the disk may have a hard time gathering information. I was wondering if by placing a label on the top of the disk it may provide enough of a reflective surface or at least darkren the background enought that the pick-up laser can focus.

Any thoughts or sugestions about this would be helpful.
