I've started having problems when re-burning CD-RW disks. A brand new disk that has been written to seems to have difficulty with erasing and writing new data.

I use disk utility to erase the disk (have to uncheck "Quick Erase" since my car mp3 player won't recognize them). Sometimes it stops after a minute or so and has not done anything. Eventually it will erase the disk.

Then I try to burn new data to it with iTunes. It gets midway through and ejects the disk because of "disk failure." Sound familiar to anyone? A new disk fresh out of the packing will write fine, its only when I try to re-write that it has problems.

CD-Rs have no problems. Could it be the erasing of the disk that is messing it up? Or could my drive be whacked?

I just started having the same problem as you. I got a Dual 867 as well, and now my combo drive wont burn anything without getting an error. Ive tried disc copy and itunes. Also running 10.2.8

hmmmm - weird.

I tried lowering the burn speed in iTunes, it didn't burn any slower for my RW (still did 4x even though I set it at 2x ), but the burn was successful.

It doesn't crap out every time, but enough to be bothersome. And like I said previously - its only with erased RWs.
