Yes.  Call Lyben.  I've bought stuff from them for 9 years now; they're not
always the cheapest, they don't always have what I want, but they've *always*
been reliable, helpful over the phone, and willing to take bum stuff back.  I
very much doubt they've deliberately sold you bad disks.


Disclaimer: I have no connection with Lyben except as a long-standing, if
infrequent, satisfied customer.
