You might want to try a cd recording from the CLI too. Assuming you have a suitable iso ready made:
cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:x,x,x -dao <path-to-iso>
All on one line, and x,x,x replaced by the output from cdrecord dev=ATA -scanbus. The speed number should be conservative for testing; no more than 1/3 of the rated top speed of the drive.
