What are you using the burn your CD's? What program?
Some specifications could help too, but the most helpful advice I could offer you is this:
Code:
sudo hdparm -d1 /dev/cdrom
Replace /dev/cdrom with whatever the device name for your CD burner is. Also add the following to /etc/hdparm.conf:
Code:
/dev/cdrom {
dma = on
}

cd creator... as in Roxio Easy CD Creator? How are you using it.. if you burn the iso using 'Project' (or whatever its called) it will simply place the iso on the CD (rather than use the iso to create the CD). Normally the ISO can just be double clicked and it will run the creator and start the burn (iirc).
