Try different media, burning software and speed of burning.
Try running diagnostics on the drive from Lite-on or others.
Thanks.

Have you also tried a different program?

Burn the software with microsofts build in burner, aka drag and drop. If you have roxio, download a nero trial or visa versa. If by Liteon you mean Generic 4 slot Toaster, please clean the crumb tray out first.
