you've probably got an old CD burner that doesn't support buffer underrun protection. So all you have to do is nothing, literally. Whenever you burn a CD, do absolutely nothing else with your computer, and make sure you're not virus scanning or defragging in the background. Then you shouldn't have a problem.

If its a relatively new drive, with buffer underrun protection, then its the discs that are the problem.

Also try burning at a lower speed.

the burner is only 3/4 months old im only burning at 12x so thats not the problem, underrun is on, so which is it

90% chance its the discs. Get some different discs, and see if the same thing happens. Also see if it happens when you burn at a slower speed.
