Are you using XP's built-in cd burning or a third-party one? I'm not an
expert on cd burners because when I start getting errors with one I
just replace the drive. I recently bought some cd-rw drives for around
$23usd so they are not expensive. Until someone more knowledgeable
about the ins-and-outs of cd burning in XP comes along, here are links
that might help:
