Pioneer DVR-106D won't burn in RAW mode :(

[Tash]

Drive details:
Drive: Pioneer DVR-106D
Max read speed: 32x
Max write speed: 16x
Have updated firmware to latest version.
Running WinXP

Using Alcohol 120%, I have tried backing up my games for the first time by creating an image file then burning it to disk (games: Cossacks original and others). However, when I go to write the data back to disk by selecting RAW/DAO in Alcohol and being the burning process, I am given the message:

"Something is wrong with the recording procedure! Please check the log file..."
