Having never used CD burners much under linux, I can only point you
at a program that's helped me on occasions in the past - cdreset.

It's in the cdtool debian package, and probably in the equivalent
package for other distros. It's resolved some random quirks in the
past, so it might just work for you :)

HTH,

Bernard.
