Are these a new pack of this same disk you have used before?
First this is very low quality media so it could be a problem, but to not recognize the disk at all??? hmmm points to you needing a firmware upgrade on your drive. Go to the manufacters website and download/install the newest firmware for your drive..

Go into your device manager
Click on the "+" beside CD/DVD ROM drive
Should list your drive there w/model number

Let me know which drive it is you have?

Hmmm.. There are no updates for that drive at Toshiba yet, but There probably will be soon.. Here is a link you should save and check every so often http://sdd.toshiba.com/main.aspx?Path=810000000007000000010000659800000000/810000000111000000010000659C00000000/810000000A4A000000010000659C000023EE
In the mean time you may want to try a different brand of media.
