I backed up everything for a clean install. 2 of the discs won't load, they almost freeze. the cd drive just hangs. Did these not get "finalized" or something. The other 20 turned out fine. I hope there is a way to get the data off these. Is there?

You could try a place like DriveSavers. They're pricey, but if you need the data that badly, it's worth it.

Other than that, you're probably out of luck. It pays to verify the data after it's been burnt, even if it takes a little longer. I even verified one today, and by the time I got it to my workplace, it was bum. Go figure.
