I apologize if this has been addressed before, but I constantly get ?buffer underrun? errors when trying to burn disks.
I have an ECS K7S5A mobo, with and Athlon 1600, a Maxtor 40gb 7200rpm (I think with a 2mb buffer), a Sony Spressa burner crx100e 24x4x2 with a 1mb buffer, and a Lite-On 163D DVD (16x) player that I use as my main drive.
The HD is the primary master with the burner as slave, the DVD is the secondary master.
It seems that I get this more often if I?m copying from the DVD to the burner and less so if I?m just burning files.
What?s wrong? The error means that the data isn?t getting to the burner fast enough, correct? Sony?s website and tech support were unhelpful. Would it help to put the DVD and the burner on the same IDE connector? What else could I try. The burner is quite old, and this has always been a problem. Do I just need a new burner?
Thanks
