I just ran a test burn, as you suggested. It completed successfully. So I tried burning again (except not test mode) and it failed. It just says: "Writing lead-in with CD-Text" and just stays there, not moving. The burner is burning stuff, though, because the longer I wait, the more of the disc is colored. If I play it, it's just static.
I have a whole pile of CD-RWs but they are older. This is really the first time I've actually been making repeat coasters--about 4 or 5 so far. Ehh, we have around a thousand CDs/DVDs on hand.
Addition:
1. Test succeeded.
2. Burn failed
3. Again, test (changing no other settings) succeeded!!!
Drive problem?

--- I guess there isn't really an error message. It just keeps burning "junk." I suppose if I let it finish it would give an error. I should dig out some CD-RWs. But they are so slow! 4x I think! I've thought about getting some new, fast ones.
