Can't Burn CDs

Windows XP.

I reformatted/reinstalled everything a few months ago. Since then I
have not been able to burn any CDs. Just before I did the above
operations, I installed a new CD-R, a cheap generic one I bought for
$20 from a computer building company.

I am concerned that I might have placed the jumper incorrectly. I'm
not sure what my set up is. I had forgotten about this procedure when
I replaced it so I no longer recall what the original setting was. I
have a Dell computer (basic) with a CD-R (my drive D) and and CD-RW (my
drive E.) What is the proper relationship here, for the D drive CD-R?
Slave, Master, or CSEL?

I used to burn CDs with Sonic, that was bundled on the computer when I
bought it.

I purchased Cakewalk Pyro Plus and have been trying to use that. I did
have this software installed before the reformat/reinstall and it
worked.

When I try and copy an audio CD, I get this error: Write operation was
not successful. A write emergency occurred: Unexpected distrubance
during write. Please check if the medium is clean and the recorder is
positioned on a stable surface.
Driver error code = 02030C00h.
The disc in SONY CD-RW CRX216E is not successfully recorded.

I've checked Google for the driver error code before but didn't find
anything that seemed to fit. As you see, my CD-RW is a Sony.

Any ideas on this?

BTW, I did make sure the drive is set to burn CDs.

Please respond to me only in this forum and do not send me any emails.

Thanks
