First try to copy your cd to your HD and then burn it. If this doesn't work then burn a cd at 1x speed. If this doesn work check if DMA is selected(right click my computer, properties, select your writer an click again on proporties)

My old Imation burner did the same, and despite all the troubleshooting, it came down to the burner went bad. I'd check into that if nothing else works, (especially since you're getting write errors.)
