This may not be your problem, but have you tried using a different burn program, like CDRWin, or Nero, or CloneCD. I have used these 3 to backup Playstation games, computer games and apps, and even Dreamcast games..and I can barely remember any coasters I have made... Most of my coasters have come trying to use EZ CD Creator on very protected disks. I just backed up one game using CloneCD, while the others wouldn't completely read the disk. Another way to reduce your coasters is not to do any on-the-fly copying. I was create an image to the hard drive first. I've found that the majority of errors are due to reading the disk, not writing to it. If you create a successful image, the burn should go just fine.
