Try burning at a lower speed like 4X or less. Probably what is happening is that your CD burner is ready for data and the system doesn't have any to give it, so the burner fails with an error. The only solution to this is to burn at lower speeds. If I'm right, CD-RW is working because 4X is slow enough that the CD burner never runs out of data. We have a similar problem at work with a Plextor burner. I've learned not to ever burn at 8X speed. Too many coasters. 4X almost never fails. TDK burners have technology built into them where the burner does some buffering and they almost never run out of data. I'm amazed that other manufacturers have not adopted this idea, but most have not.
