Burner problems
Hi. I'm having some major problems with my CD-R/RW unit, a Samsung SW-408B. It doesn't support Burn-Proof technology, but even when i have about 220 mb's of RAM free, and I do nothing else at the same time, I will get buffer underruns.

One of three cd's I try to burn get ruined because of this, so I'm loosing money cause of it . I'm using Nero in WinXP mainly, but I have the same problem with CDRWin.
Does anyone know what I can do to prevent this from happeing? At least a little bit..
Thanks.

For best throughput, the CD-RW unit should be attached to the Secondary IDE device as the Master with DMA enabled.
Some of the factors for buffer underruns - speed of the processor, other tasks in RAM, fragmented hard disk.
Be sure that you have the latest firmware. Believe this unit has an XP upgrade available.
Burn Audio CD at 6X not 8X though it says it is rated at 8X.
