Honestly, I'd just buy new drive. You can get a good 52x for about $35, or even get a DVD-/+RW for about $75. The newer drives are very reliable; I haven't made a coaster in years. It'll save you all this hassle of looking for specific media, which is only going to get worse as time goes on, and you'll be much happier burning at 52x.
