CDR COPY PROBLEM!!

[iggy35]

My cd-rw in the last month has refused to copy any cd's.
I've tried using different software (Nero, Ulead DVD Moviefactory, Musicmatch, etc)
If its a music cd it copies the first 3 or 4 tracks before stopping.
If its a vcd, its the same.

Heres my recorder info:

Recorder: <LG CD-RW CED-8080B> Version: 1.06 - HA 0 TA 1 - 5.5.9.0
Adapter driver: <ESDI_506> HA 0
Drive buffer : 2048kB
Bus Type : default (0) -> ATAPI

I've wasted about 15 blank cd's trying to fix it but nothings working.
I've used 3 different types of cd, the same happens with all of em.
I formatted my computer in the hope that would help, it didn't.

On Nero the error given is "Track following error"
I don't know if this is of any importance but I'll put it up anyway.
"SCSI not using temporary buffers - 20 out of 20 temporary buffers allocated"
That was in the log.

Hope someone can push me in the right direction cause I'm close to binning the ruddy thing!!

Iggy,
Have you tried cleaning it? Try a can of air, first. They make, and I have used cleaning disks, but am a little leery of them.
Perhaps the "Track following error" is from a dirty mirror.
