Burning an enhanced CD with a pre-gap track

I'm trying to burn an audio CD with enhanced content, as well as a hidden track in the pre-gap, but I've run into a few issues.

The software I'm using for burning the audio session is Exact Audio Copy. For the data session, I'm using CDBurnerXP. I'm doing this on Windows XP SP3. The CD burner, as listed in EAC, is SAMSUNG CD-R/RW SW-248F R602  Adapter: 0  ID: 1

A few nights ago, I was able to successfully burn a CD-R with the audio session in EAC (and setting the disc to remain open, which I believe is the correct option) and then burning the ISO as a separate session with CDBurnerXP. This appeared to work; it said all went well and closed out. The CD-R's icon in Windows Explorer now shows as the Audio CD+ icon or whatever it's called, like the enhanced CD album View-Monster by Lemon Demon that I own. However, when I clicked on it, I was only able to view the CDA files rather than the folder with the enhanced content. Another issue that arose here is that on my first few tries, EAC would get to the second track (on the first try) and then the fifteenth/last (on the second try) and give an error (Illegal mode for track), rendering the CD-R unusable.

Today, I decided to give it another shot. However, today I was given the error every single time (I tried three times) not long after the lead-in is burned. As far as I'm aware, I'm using the same settings as before.

Here is my cue sheet:

What am I doing wrong, and how can I get this to properly burn? I need to burn it on 50 CD-Rs (and I don't have any spares of the type I need to burn it onto) and need to make sure I have a reliable method for doing so.

Thanks.
