Having a nightmare with Iomega USB ZipCD - Help!

[Bosanac]

Hi, folks!

I too have similar problem on LG GCE-8320B CD-RW. I used media like Moser Baer, Verbatim, Sony, TDK and else. Until recently everything went really fine. I updated firmvare to 1.04, IDE controllers, and tried to burn at slower range too. Nothing helped. Fixation errors still keep making me nervous...and CD´s are not so cheap, right?
Oh yes, just yesterday I have found out that lowering writing speed would make 2 burning session "succesfull", which means that could read file but error message was still ther: "Burn session failed at 12x..."
Any suggestions?

Here is my nero´s log:
