Cheers! There is 1 disk that says workbench 2.05 when i insert the disk it starts to load and then just comes back to the disk animation again.

The light comes on for 3-4 secs and then goes back to the animation.
I'll have a quick look inside..............

Its not looking good!,I have checked the internal connections which are ok. The disk sounds like it starts to load then resorts back to the disk screen.
I'll have a go at cleaning the drive. I can't believe all the disks (100+) are knackered!!
