burning problems

[pintsized_princess21]

I really hope someone can help and i'm really sorry if this has been posted a hundred times before! ive looked through pages and pages of cd burning posts and just cant find and answer anywhere!

ok heres the problem:

the first time i ever copied a cd to a blank cd using roxio it worked fine.

the next time the cd ejected halfway through burning and said there was an error.

over the last 2 days after downloading some songs off limewire i decided to burn them to cd and the same thing happened.

ive tried using roxio and nero but it makes no difference.

does anybody know what the problem mite be? the cd's i got were fairly cheap could this be it?

thanks in advance
