Try a different brand disc. The old media may have gone bad for that
drive.

You must match the drive, firmware and media in an exhausting sequence
of trial and error, or you can consult CDFreaks and get their

You probably should get a new burner anyway since the one you have is
a bit old. But try it in another computer before reinstalling XP.
