You have Sonic's Drive Letter Access packet writing crap on your system, which may cause conflicts with Anydvd and other programs. If you need to drag and drop files to burn (as you would to a floppy disc), then use dvd-ram instead, which is more stable. That Drive Letter Access nonsense needs to be removed.

i) Create a backup of your registry: click

ii) Download imgburn. It's a free program:

(it's also an excellent program imo)
iii) Go to Tools > Filter Driver Load Order. Select "DRVMCDB". Click "Remove Selected Filter". Select "DLACDBHM". Click "Remove Selected Filter". Click "ok".
iv) Reboot
Keep in mind that whatever programs installed those filters may no longer function properly.

That's a read error typically indicating that you have a bad original disc.
D. If, after following all the steps I outlined, you still receive that same error message, then here are your options in order of likelihood:
1. The original disc is bad even if it plays fine. Exchange it.
2. The disc is dirty. Clean it.
3. Your drive is slowly dying. Try a different drive.
4. The cable on the back of your drive is bad. Exchange it.
