I suspect nothing much wrong with your media.
I suspect hardware,not faulty, but something about the hardware threw the installer.
I would be causious about messages, they usually are generic, rather than specific.
I have used EZCD v5 for many years, ever since it came out
and if you have never had trouble with the writer before
I doubt it makes any difference.But if you want to try
a linux writer programme cdrecord can write an iso image to disc.eg
cdrecord -v speed=8 dev=0,1,0 -eject /sourcefile.iso
adapt yours to suit.
to find out what bus your writer is on do
cdrecord -scanbus
Cdrecord 1.11a19 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2002 Jörg Schilling

you can see mine is on 0,1,0
However I would as I say suspect something about your hardware or how it is setup.
You might start by listing it again if you haven't already done so.
