I use the SCSI interface and very occasionally get the same problem. This can be due to a number of causes which I list (your settings are fine):

1 Burning too fast in conjunction with other issues in the below list. 4x is usually 100% OK and 8x 95% of the time

2 A background job in Windows has stolen the disk drive (like FindFast, Web cookie)

3 The HDD and the Burner are on the same IDE channel. The Burner should be the Secondary IDE Channel Master

4 The HDD is badly fragmented - you need to burn at slower speed definitely in this case.
