This problem was observed in machines having independent cables too. When there is a cd rom and a writer in the system, both have to be in seperate ide channels for faster cd to cd writing. The writer has to be master so sec. master. This leaves primary slave for the cd rom.

To avoid making coasters, my personal preference is to copy the CD to an ISO image on the HDD and burn the disks from them. I keep the HDDs and the CD-RWs on separate IDE channels. This was helpful with the earlier CD-RWs that did not have buffer under run feature.
