Use a recognized brand name writer with good driver/software support and mainstream branded media. Use blank media free of dust or scratches (CDs supplied on spindles sometimes fail this criterion), ensure that the system can deliver the data at faster than the CD writer speed, ensure good power to the writer, hands off the computer until the media is burned and finalized, always write and finalize an archive disc in one session, verify after write. That's about it.
