Problem Recording with EAC

When trying to write to a CD-R using EAC, and after ejecting the original disc, I insert a blank disc, press the WRI button, select "Load CUE Sheet" from the File menu and then select "Write CD" from the CD-R menu. The program begins to write for about 4 seconds, then displays the following error msg window. . .

"Write error!
Write blocks:
Logical unit not ready, long write in progress"

Can anyone explain what is happening, and how I can correct this problem?

Thanks.

I always use an external program with EAC, Nero in this instance.

Rwwear-

Would you please be more specific as to how you use Nero with EAC. I'm unfamiliar with this program, but do have a friend who is using it. How does it work in conjunction with EAC? And why would this solve the problem? Sorry for my ignorance, but I'm a newbee to CD ripping.

Thanks.

After I process the files with EAC, I open Nero and select "make an audio CD". Afterwards, I drag and drop the files from the folder that I put the processed file into (making sure to put them in the order I want). I also find it best to click "remove spaces between tracks" just in case some of the tracks run together. And then burn baby burn. I don't know why it works, it's a computer.
