Does your drive do better with the gold than the green, or is it just difficult with all CD-Rs? I have, what I consider to be a fairly expensive Philips CD-R and have had no problems that traced back to the drive as the culprit. I have had my fair share of corrupted files and the odd CD damaged in shipping, but nothing drive specific. What kind of CD-ROM drive do you have, and how is it interfaced? The only failure I ever had with a burn session was caused by the ide controler going through a reset cycle during the burn.
