CD burning from MD recording

I've been burning CDs from original MD recordings made at charity Choral concerts for some time. The CDs are for the choir members (at slightly less than cost!)
Initially the main problem was the recordings were 'topping out' (too much volume), quite frequently, but the recording levels were automatic, and the results were very good. I still use automatic recording level but, on transfer to one 'pooter', the hard drive version is ruined by a continuous 'motor boat' background. On the other machine, there is no extraneous background but the recording level is VERY low and normalising it produces heavy 'Hiss'.
Both machines use AC 97 sound function (MB built-in) and I don't have any spare slots for sound cards.
Anyone have any thoughts on the problem and/or (more importantly!!) any solutions?
TIA
