Bad media. As bad as it gets really. Try this:

Burnt the last of the spindle, 4 more coasters and the last one was ok ! I knew the media was bad but didnt realise it was that bad. Think ill use on Taiyo Yuden from now on.

Thanks for the help and link

i would consider re-doing the rest of the backups done on the cmc's as well if you want to use them in the near future
