abnormaly high burn fail rate??? (CD-RW)

[HngGstr]

As all of us Linux users know, we burn a LOT of cds/DVDs (at least compared to the average user)

I got an idea all of a sudden to use CD-RWs, so that when a new version of any distro comes out, I could just reuse the disk. Granted, they're only 12x speed, but I've used DVD+RW at 4x speed for Ubuntu Ultimate (didn't even know I got DVD-RW), and they've worked fine.

I've gone through 3 cd-rws, and not one of them had a successful burn! Am I just exerpiencing a high burn fail rate, or are CD-RW at 12x speed not good?

(the manufacturer of the cds is Memorax)

I have used CD-RWs many of times. Could be a hardware issue. Do the regular writables come out alright?

ya, I just burned Win7 on a DVD. I'm going to try again

When I burned WIndows 7 to DVD Brasero said there was errors, but when I used it to install everything went fine.

(For the record, I have a legal key.)
