I am assuming that you have tried different CD-R's and still had the same problem....I would say that you have a bad CD writer....there is nothing that i know about that would cause the CD writer to do that other than a software problem or a bad CD writer...

At first I thouhgt it was a software conflict and I uninstalled all the writing software but the problem has persisted. I am running win98, 64MB RAM and 20 GB hard disk. Can someone help?
