Here are a couple of thought; I hope they help.  It sounds like you will be
very tight for space on your hard drive partitions once you make the CD
image.  You said that you only have about 600mb free in each partition; yet,
a CD can hold up to 650mb of data (or 700mb in some cases).

Newer CDs are being made with copy protection built into them.  Often what
this amounts to is putting data on the CD that will look corrupt to the CD
burning program.  The program checks the data as it is copying it and thinks
that it is making an error which it can't correct, so it hangs up the
process.  I would think this would be a factor at the point of making the
image, however, and you said that you were able to copy the data to burn
into an image first, so this idea may be irrelevant in your case.
