cant create bootable cd

[Wade Smart]

I have three computers running ubuntu 9.04 and none of them will
burn a cd. I have several cd-r's and 1 cdrw. All of the machines say
they are attempting to write but after a long period of time - they all
say finished and then eject the cd - but nothing is written on the cd's.
