Titolo: LG 8160B CD-Writer TrackWriter error T7124

Dear reader,
Please help me with the following - it's stumped me and I'm gutted
because I got an in-car mp3 player for
Christmas and I can't make myself CDs for long journeys with my
girlfriend so I don't have to listen to her!!!
(Just kidding - in case she ever finds my alias and reads this post!)
I recently replaced following hardware : Asus mobo, AMD proc, new RAM,
nVidia graphics card
...and transferred my LG 8160B CD-Writer (LG CD-RW CED-8160B 4.05)
-running as IDE 1 Slave (to
master DVD drive)
I am using: Easy CD Creator 5 Basic, and experiencing the following
problems:
=====================================
1. When I try to "quick format" a CDRW:
-Works fine.
=====================================
2. When I try to "full format" a CDRW:
-It gets right to the end, progress bar sticks at 100% as it used to,
and then it displays an error.  Can provide
error if think useful - just didn't want to go through the pain of
waiting 20 minutes for it to fail on me again!
=====================================
3. Every time I try to burn a CDR or CDRW: (Percentages vary up to +-2
sometimes)
-Immediately: Upper (current operation) progress bar starts.
-20 seconds later: Upper (current operation) progress bar skips to
98%.
-At the same time: Lower (overall progress) progress bar skips from 2%
to 98%.
-At the same time: Caption changes to "Finalizing CD".
-30 seconds later: I get the following error message: Easy CD Creator
error: E80041931: TrackWriter error - CD read failed - (T7124)
I have only tried burning Data CDs since this problem started because
assumed if it didn't format, chances
are it wouldn't work with any type of CD.
=====================================
I tried the ASPICHK.exe (v1.0.0.6) file that I read about on the
Adaptec website and created the following log
file:
     LOG0143: *****************************************************************

I tried running the ASPI32 update but it reports the same but when I
ran ASPICHK.exe (v.2.0.0.0) a label on
the form shows: "ASPI is properly installed and fully operational".
The following ASPI file versions are reported by ASPICHK.exe
(v.2.0.0.0):
ASPI32.SYS (4.71.2) 16,877 bytes
WOWPOST.EXE (4.6 (1021)) 4,672 bytes
WINASPI.DLL (4.6 (1021)) 5,600 bytes
WNASPI32.DLL (4.71.2) 45,056 bytes
=====================================
I have read about "flashing" the CD-Writer, but I didn't have to do it
before for it to work.  Would this possibly be a requirement for only
some motherboards and therefore I should consider it?
I have sent a support email to Roxio that hopefully they'll reply to,
but any help with this very much appreciated.  Happy christmas if it's
near that time when you read this and you celebrate christmas!  What? 
Who's mad?
(PS. Also just tried NERO and experience similar problems)
Regards, Jedd.
