so you're drive is recognizing any disc that you put in it or is it just not recognizing blank media? if its not reading any disc, double check your connections to the drive and the ide header on the motherboard, possibly try swapping in another ide cable to see if that has any effect. if that doesn't help, you might have a dead/dieing drive on your hands.

what kind of files are you trying to burn?

I have never seen that error message, but lets start there

RMA it if can't read any CD at all.
Ops! do double confirm by swapping the IDE cable with hdd, or even IDE connector on MB to make very sure.

Double means return it, if it won't read any CDs

To be sure, you can change the gray, flat cables inside the computer (IDE cables); make sure they're installed properly, and change the cable leading to the hard drive with the one leading to your CD drive. This way, you can make sure it's not a problem with the cable. If both the CD and the Hard Drive are on the same cable, don't mess with them - the problem won't be the cable.
