I had this problem with my yamaha 6x recorder.  I has 2 packs of discs
that I bought at the same time, one burned fine , the other turned into
coasters.  I upgraded the firmware (from 1.2 to 1.8) and had no problem
since.  The upgrade was a windows program and the only windows on my
machine was in vmware.  I had to create a partition and install win2k on
it.  It would have been easier to buy a new recorder and if time is
money, cheaper too.
