Can't burn cds, can't send CUE sheet

I have tried Brasero, NeroLinux, K3b, cdrecord, and others. Nothing works.

I replaced my old SATA CD-R/DVD-ROM with a new Pioneer SATA CDR/DVD writer...that didn't fix the problem either

Here is a log output from Brasero

I have tried DAO, TAO, and raw.

I actually got the drive to write something with the -raw96r option and cdrecord from the command line.

I've tried to burn audio and data cds, everytime yields the same error.

The drive mounts and plays cds and dvds, but won't write. The drive is linked to /dev/scd0, and I have read that when they are mounted to /dev/hd* they work better. I'm not sure if that's true. I don't know where to go from here. Both drives worked flawlessly in windows. I have updated the firmware in my Drive, and changed my computers BIOS to "plug and play OS, YES"...but nothing seems to fix it. I've tried different types of media(but, remember the drives both worked fine in windows). I think I've narrowed it down to a software problem. Maybe permissions? I have NO idea how to fix a permission problem.
