Troubleshooting

The “Buffer Underrun” error message is displayed.

If your CD writing software supports the Buffer Underrun Protection, you must validate the Buffer Underrun Protection. For more details, refer to the documentation that came with your writing software.

For more effective writing, and to avoid causing “Buffer Underrun,” try the following:

Lower the writing speed setting.

Create an image file of the CD on the computer’s hard disk.

Optimize the hard drive (Defragment the drive).

When writing, close other applications (including screen savers, etc.).

Turn hard disk power management off.

Check the “DMA” check box for the setting of transfer mode of the IDE devices such as a hard drive or a CD-ROM drive, etc. (P. 26)

Deactivate the Active Desktop (if you are using Internet Explorer 4 or later).

Close residential software.

Make sure any trouble does not stem form your writing software by referring to the documentation that came with it.

Note

Errors can occur if you knock or move the CRW2200E drive while it is writing to disc.

Other problems

Do you have several kinds of CD writing software applications installed in the same system?

Some CD writing software applications may conflict if installed together, resulting in unstable operations.
