Guest 96 cobra 'vert Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 I believe that it means that your computer can't send the data to the CD burner in time to keep up with the burning process. Try slowing down your burn speed maybe? I haven't had this, but I have a 4x and an 8x burner... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest badmuthrfkr Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 Close out as many programs as possible and don't run anything else while burning your CDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkendubber Posted April 21, 2003 Report Share Posted April 21, 2003 also if you are doing a direct copy put the cd writer on a different chain from the drive you are using to copy from. Kyle G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevil Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Defrag your hard drive(s), that may help too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stvbreal Posted April 22, 2003 Report Share Posted April 22, 2003 Check HD space, you may not have enough room in order to copy the CD. That's if you are copying from CD to CD with one burner and no extra CD Rom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttemper Posted April 23, 2003 Report Share Posted April 23, 2003 or just buy a new cd burner that has buffer underun protection smile.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Harbinger Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 If a bufferunderrun occurs, then the CD Writer has not received the data quickly enough. One or several of the following 4 points is the cause in this case: The source is too slow, e.g. if data is being transferred from a network, a floppy or from exchangeable data carriers. The connection between source and the system is too slow, i.e. if the source drive is connected to the parallel port and this is only being run in SPP mode or is blocked at times by the connection being used by another device so that a constant flow of data is not possible. The PC is too busy to process the incoming data, e.g. by using an active virus scanner in the background. The connection between the system and the CD Writer is too slow or blocked at times www.nero.com imagine that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Ben Posted April 24, 2003 Report Share Posted April 24, 2003 Buy a TDK burner and try again. Not only do they come with the latest version of Nero, but they all have the buffer under run protection. But if you're not going to buy a new burner, then slow down the write speed.
