you are trying to do a multisession audio burn right?

This tell you that it cannot read the source....check permissions. Are you 
copying from a cd or from your hd. IF the former copy to hd, check permission 
and then try again.

I dont use padding and turn it off in gcombust, see options tab and test

you are using an erasable disc? Have you tested with a CDR also. CDRW can get 
screwed easily and with the cost of CDR's I dont rely on them any more.

IM not sure here but I think it wants to erase the disc first. Check the 
status of this disc as it may be flakey. This can be done by using a standard 
CDR and testing your setup. Also can be done with a dummy burn to avoid 
coasters.

hmmm the speed is interesting. Not sure here but worth a guess...Above it 
calls for the indicated speed as 6 and now it wants to burn at 4, Can you set 
this manually to 4 (assuming your burner can handle this) and test.

Let us know of your progress as there are many here who can help and most are 
more capable than I.....:)
