ImgBurn just shows the information provided by your burner, so either you have bad discs or your burner is dying. Can you copy and paste here all the media information text shown in ImgBurn's main window?

Update your storage drivers to the latest version (you can use SIW to identify your controller(s)). If it's an Intel controller then you should instal the Intel RapidStorage Techonology driver.

Are you sure what you have is an ISO image? Try opening it with 7-Zip / WinRAR to see if it isn't a compressed archive that contains the disc image inside.

Please post the log from that burn attempt.

Your drive is a CD burner and DVD reader, also known as a combo drive, and, as you might have guessed, you need a DVD burner in order to burn DVDs

Install the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver and try again.

You could burn that to a DVD disc, if your friend's computer has a DVD reader drive. Alternatively, you could burn that image to a 90min CD-R, provided that your burner supports burning it (use the slowest write speed) and that the reader drive supports reading it all the way. By the way, the original, untouched XP Media Center came in 2 discs

You could try cleaning the drive with a lens cleaning disc, but getting a new burner is a good option. I'd get an Optiarc AD-7240S or AD-7260S (or their 7241/7243/7261/7263 optionals).

We don't help with bypassing copy protections: if you get a message about copy protection from ImgBurn, or if your drive simply can't read the disc (common with console game discs), then there's nothing we can do.

Also update ImgBurn.

We need the log from when you burned the disc.

Go to ImgBurn's settings, Write tab, hit the Defaults button, answer No (so that it resets the settings only of the Write tab) and click OK. Then do a Full Erase using ImgBurn. Whenever you need to burn to that disc use ImgBurn and you don't need to erase it beforehand: just overwrite the data. ImgBurn will keep the current format, as opposed to Windows Explorer which looks like is resetting it to spare areas enabled.

Your burner doesn't support burning that disc, and from what I could find it doesn't work with most burners anyway. Try with a Verbatim DVD+RW disc and it should work.

Try Tools -> Drive -> Close Track / Session / Disc (in that order). If it doesn't work then you should use IsoBuster to extract your files.

What's the brand and model of your motherboard? Is the burner connected to the Intel SATA controller or another one like JMicron/Marvell?

That isn't a rewritable disc: it's write once DVD+R media.

Try with Verbatim media and it should work better.

Nope.
