Unable to create data CDs

[beanboy89]

The other day, I was about to burn an ISO file (which was less than 700 MB) to a 700 MB CD-R using ISORecorder 3.1, but when I tried to send the ISO to the CD-R, I got a message saying "Media is too small." Baffled, I tried another blank CD-R of the same size, and got the same message. I then tried sending an ISO to a DVD-R using ISORecorder and that worked just fine.

Later on, I tried sending a bunch of files to a blank CD-R using Windows Explorer, and when I tried to format the CD to the Live File System, I got a message saying "Windows was unable to complete the format." So I tried again, using the Mastered file system, which didn't give me any problems at first, so I tried adding files, and then when I went to burn the disk, I see this:

I tried another disc, same error. The kicker here is that I can burn audio CDs just fine. I've used Windows Media Player to do so with relatively no problems.

I'm using the desktop system listed in my signature. OS is Vista x64 SP2.

Edit: Although previous reboots didn't seem to do anything to solve the problem, I just installed some Windows Updates that appeared, and after the reboot, the problem seems to be corrected. I am thoroughly confused, but nonetheless everything seems to be working just fine now.
