Hello Mixer,
it is possible that you are trying to burn to the same CD you have booted from. Eject the Recovery CD (it is not necessary after the product loaded completely) and then insert blank CD drive into the same CD burning device. When devices are unmounted it is hard to choose correct one in Linux interface. I would suggest you trying the steps above.
