Sue, Loyal,
Another thing to look at and consider as well. The brand of disks you
have. I've found, over the years, that the cheap and off-brand disks
are usually crap. In my own experience, I've seen as much as 40% of a
100 CD spindle be bad. FWIW, I only buy name brand, high-end media
these days (meaning Sony, etc, not the generic stuff that costs far
less) and have had MUCH more success with burning disks.
Add to that Loyal's suggestion of reducing the burn speed and you
should be good. I usually run mine about 1 step below max for the
drive or disk, and using quality media, I've not had a bad burn in a
long time.
Also, one other aspect to consider is the quality of the drive itself.
Cheap drives will be more prone to bad burns and even being unable to
read good burns on cheap disks.
HTH,
Jeff
