Need with with cdrecord error

[m...@home.com]

hi

i've recently been trying to write some music CD's using cdrecord and
during the write process, the following error shows up and causes
cdrecord to exit:

Performing OPC...
Starting new track at sector: 34387
Track 03: 21 of 43 MB written (fifo 20%).cdrecord: Input/output
error. write_g1: scsi sendcmd: retryable error

Writing time: 76.453s

I'd like to know if this error is due to a problem with my drive, or
whether it's just a bad CD-R.
Also, i'd appreciate it if someone could tell me where i can find more
information about these kinds of errors (so i hopefully wont have to
bother u nice folks again in the future :))

thanks
ali
