buffer underrun errors

I have a plain samsung burner that came w/ my HP pc. I try to burn stuff aevery once in a whille and 90% of the time i will get buffer underrun errors. Can anyone help me fix this problem without buying a new burner. Thanks Travis

 

Make sure the cd you are copying from is clean + dont copy on the fly // go to your harddrive first.

 

A few years ago, no informed PC-addict would consider buying a IDE CD-burner -- as one more often than not one simply got coffee cup coasters. Buffer-underruns are notorious in IDE systems. One preferred SCSI burners back then. But SCSI burners also costed up to $700 back then, plus the $100 (and up) for the SCSI card.

Then Sanyo came out with the buffer-underrun technology that allowed stopping the laser burning until data was again available to continue burning. Many versions of Sanyo's Burn-Proof technology now exist. Most CD-burners now are IDE and nearly all have some type of Burn-Proof technology

To use a CD-Burner one should first defrag the hard drive. Then shut-down all un-need processes that may be running.

ENDITALL version 2.0 from Ziff Davis PC Magazine (see zdnet) is helpful to shut down the many, many invisible running processes
