The solution for rawsaxy:

Well, after making the mistake of adding permissions to internal files on the main hard drive and system folder, I ended up with the Gray Screen and Restart Loop problem. I was able to backup the important files before doing an Erase & Install. Everything is working better than before now. I left the Mac OS at 10.5.2, and guess what? I was able to burn a DVD in iDVD ’08 now! Thank you Lord!

Another two solutions are from this thread.

1.  Try another kind of media

2.  Use a Computer CD/DVD cleaning pad.

Both of this solutions fixed the problem for two posters.

    0×80020042 this error seems to be to do with the software used to burn the DVD. If you use another application to do your burning like Toast, it should solve the problem
