Problem burning CD-RW : nero sends "error following track"

My CD recorder (LG CD-RW CED-8080B 24x 8x 2x no Burnproof) works very
well when burning CD-Rs, but with CD-RWs it almost always fails (not
quite always, I have a couple of discs which I have used several times
- media brand is not the issue).

With Nero 6, I get a message "error following track". I get similar
reactions from Clone CD.

My system is a PC Athlon 2500+ with 512 MB RAM running Windows XP, but
I already had the probleme with my previous configuration (Pentium
II/Windows 98).

My DMA settings are OK.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, but I don't see anything on the issue on the page you've
referred me to -I always do such searches before asking in a forum.

So my question remains open: does anyone have a clue?

There's "Track following" error. Try clean & lube job, and if this
doesn't fix, time to get a new drive.

(Search for Ricoh "lube" job for some hints on how to do clean&lube.)
