My CD-RW drive is only successful with certain RW CDs. I frequently get the message:

Errors reported by output device.

It is a 6x drive and I have a 4x CD that works, but the 12x CDs I just bought don't work. I didn't think the speed on the CD was important.
I am using the software which comes with the system to burn the CD.
I don't seem to have any problems with Read-Only CDs.
Thanks.

Not sure about the speed thing, I thought it only mattered if the writer was faster than the CD. Arnt writables cheap enough?

Yes, I can just use Write once CDs, but it would be nice to re-use CDs.

Burn the cd-rw's at 4 times speed and they should work fine.
