The lens of the write laser is dirty.
the CD-R itself is not clean or is of bad quality. In particular if writing with 8x, conditions like this become noticeable.
If 80 minute CD-Rs are being used, then the cause can be that the track distance is too small, on the limit of the specification. It is possible that you are using a CD Writer , which has problems writing on these.
Older driver versions of the file CDR4VSD.VXD (driver from Easy CD) also cause the above mentioned error message
The error message can also occur if the CD Writer has not been set up correctly.
Please set the system settings as described in recommended settings .
One case is known in which the error message appeared after exchanging the mother board. After newly setting up the motherboard (including formatting), the problem was solved.
Or there is a hardware problem.
