I'm having poor luck re-writing CD-RWs.
I almost always get errors when burning to CD-RW media. I can
rarely record a full image. I have succeeded with fresh (un-recorded)
CD-RWs, and once with a used CD-RW. Failures happen whether I am
actively using the machine or not (I can go to bed with an image
burning, and wake up to a failure message and a disk whose tail end is
un-readable)
I have burned two successful CD-Rs, and one coaster.
Other non-critical problems:
This is a Dell Inspiron 8100 laptop, and the stinking CD drive is on
the same IDE controller as the hard drive. While blanking or
fixating, the machine is unable to access the hard drive, and any
program which attempts to access the hard drive will freeze until the
blanking operation is complete. For a blank=all, I have time to go to
lunch. While recording data, I can read mail, surf and do other
stuff, though.
I have not yet attempted a cdrecord from single-user mode (no
daemons running).
