Cannot burn cd's from itunes - frustrated to say the least

Question

I have created a playlist from cd's of my own and a few from itunes. I bring up the playlist and click on the burn cd circle and it asks to "insert a blank cd". After I do so and close the door it then says "checking media". After a minute or so it spits the cd out for a few seconds and the cd door closes again and then nothing. I tried to change the burn speed to 4 and it did nothing. I've tried to use different cd's. I've updated all drivers to no avail. It worked one time before after several attempts, but that's it. Does anyone know what the heck is going on?
Here's the cd diagnostic:
Microsoft Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 (Build 2600)

If you have multiple drives on the same IDE or SCSI bus, these drives may interfere with each other.
Some computers need an update to the ATA or IDE bus driver, or Intel chipset. If iTunes has problems recognizing CDs or hanging or crashing while importing or burning CDs, check the support site for the manufacturer of your computer or motherboard.
