Could be bad cable.. OR it could be the other drive you have connected to the same cable is causing problems. Do you have anothe drive or cdrom connected as a slave to the same cable? I have had this weird corruption problems with bad cables or having my LG drive as a slave with a DVD-ROM drive as master.. But switching the drive as a master fixed the problem. (actually took it back to the shop and had to be embarsed when they connected it and it worked fine).

Probably you are burning at a very fast speed and using not so good quality media .

1]Always burn atleast 4X speed lesser than the CD media supports.
2]Enable DMA both for HDD and CD Writer.
3]Update the ASPI layer.

In addition to all that swatkat has suggested, I also suggest you make sure you check the "Verify written data" while the burn process is executing. If the process fails, its most likely the media at fault. Get a known good media, preferably none of that 12 buck stuff that seems to be doing the rounds these days.
