Preventing Buffer Underrun Errors

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

The following are suggestions for preventing 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, select Options from the menu, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

•Open the Systems Properties dialogue box by clicking System from the Control Panel. Click the Device Manager tab and ensure that Allow Disconnect is set for both the CD-Recorder and the hard disk.

•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 drive).
