If the CD burner is a bit older, and you are using newer media, then it can happen. A firmware upgrade should fix that.

Brand means nothing. Imation doesn't make CDs, the manufacturer is someone else, and Imation just puts its own name on them. The manufacturer behind the disc isn't necessarily the same, even in a spindle.

Have you upgraded the firmware ?

Imation is one of the brands I've had problems with - try a different brand, with sufficient speed rating.
