Thumbnails from backup cd and dvd not viewing

I have iPhoto 9.1.1. I have tons of backup cd and dvds from previous iphotos. My cd and dvd backups are from iphoto 2004 and 2007 time frame. All viewed fine until my upgrade to the new iLife. My CDs the thumbnail and image have no image but a dotted gray square. The pictures are there because I can see them in the finder. I just put in a dvd and the thumbnail has no image but when I double click it shows the image. Also when I click view full screen the thumbnails show up.

May be because
1) The cable you use is a hard-drive 80- conductor cable, do not use this cable for Cd-drives, use an ATA-33 Spec cable, conductor-40 for Cd-rom drives and other drives not capabale of ata-66 or higher.
2) The cable may not be polarised and you have put the cable round the wrong way
3) Both of the drives could be slaves/masters/or on cable select. Choose ONE to be the master and ONE to be the slave device.
4) You have not given the drives a power-source (by plugging them into the psu! ) )
