Preventing Buffer Underrun Errors

SDid you know... In extreme cases, some errors may render your disc unusable. If this occurs, it may be necessary to start over with a new disc and then properly dispose of the old disc.

A buffer underrun is an error that occurs when the flow of data to the CD-Recorder is interrupted. When a buffer underrun occurs, the CD creation process is halted.

The following suggestions may help prevent buffer underruns:

■Close other programs and disable tasks or applications running in the background such as screen savers and virus software.

■Ensure that the temporary files created during CD recording are created on the local hard disk, not in a directory on a network drive.

✎Note To change the location where the temporary files are stored, click Tools from the Easy CD Creator menu, select Options, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

■Do not attempt to record CDs from files on a network. If the desired files are on a network, copy them to your local hard disk before recording the CD.

✎Note A buffer underrun error can occur on single or dual optical drive systems (CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM drives).
