This might sound like an obvious question, but does the computer play normal audio cd's, because I know I have 3 different OS's, and 3 CDroms/writers, and in win98 2 WRITERS work, but only with analogue audio (DUE TO INTERNAL AUDIO CABLING), while in XP & 2000 all three work with digital audio.
It could be an OS problem.

Does the CD play on an ordinary Audio cd player?

Apart from that, there is one file which sometimes causes that issue in Win 9X/ME
In the x:\windows\system\iosubsys
or x:\windows\system

folders, there is a file called scsi1hlp.vxd or scsi2hlp.vxd (I've forgotten which) which can sometimes cause problems like empty data being sent to burners.
This file IS installed by adaptecs aspilayer, so renamiong it to something else and rebooting your machine will ensure that the this file won't be screwing you around when writing.

Hope that helps you.
