It still looks like your drive does not like your CD-R media.

Do you have commercially-pressed CDs that you can try copying large files
from? I have definitely seen many CDROM drives that are fussy about CD-R
media -- for instance at installfests. My LUG friends burn with fancy CD-R
but sometimes you can still find a drive that won't like the Fuji from the
Japanese factory (which are the best Fuji according to my friend who is a
connoisseur in media...)
