I have read in many posts about how packet writing software, such as Drag-to-Disc is terrible, and how it generally causes a loss of data, but what is the reason for this? What causes discs burnt using D2D to spontaneously lose data?

I can't give you a very technical answer but it's not reliable. It's a non standard process from several different systems which require proprietary drivers. What's written for your system with Roxio won't work with someone else's using another program or no program at all. Errors are abundant and usually ruin what you've done. CD's are cheap enough to burn once to and save.

Awesome, thank you both very much for the reply. This was exactly what I was looking for.
