I know you are not a CLI fan but if all else fails :-)

try

wodim dev=<your cdwriter name> blank=all

with the cd to erase in drive, at the CLI and look at response. This
should tell you if you have an issue with wodim (or the drive
configuration). As K3B frontends for wodim/cdrecord this will hopefully
narrow your problem down.

This should zap everything on CD ... may take some time.

K3B actually is a bit lax on error reporting so command line should get
more detail ...

If this works then try ....

wodim -v dev=<your cdwriter name> <iso_name>

to burn an extant iso.image <iso name>...

The output here may be a bit obscure if things go wrong but can be used
diagnose some hardware issues... You may also gets some clues as whether
you need to tweak the write speed or buffer size.

K3B takes care of the complicated bit (creating an iso image) very
effectively, but really does make the burning a bit unclear.
