Burning Under XP Fails at 8 speed

Hi, There

When i'm burning at 8 speed with my plextor than it happens that i get a kind of bufferunderrun or something because the burning process fails.

Running XP
Burner is on his own cable and ide port
Using D drive (NTFS) for information that has to be burned.
Disable antivirus software etc when burning.

What's the problem ?

 

How fast is the rated burn speed on the CD writer? How fast is the rated burn speed on the CDs you're using?

Have you got everything else running in the background shut down besides your anti-virus software...instant messenger, screen saver, unneeded XP services?

Have you run a defrag (not usually a problem with XP, but best to eliminate the common causes first) recently?

I had the same problem. Tried everything and it finally turned out to be a defective drive...less than a month old. The drive was replaced under warranty and I've had no problems since.

 

Background Traffig

Hi, there..

Yep, everything on the background out. Only a few services not because they can't be put out apparently.

Rated speed is 8 for the drive and for the discs that i use is 40 max.

 

What Plextor drive do you have and what are you trying to burn?

 

"i get a kind of bufferunderrun or something because the burning process fails. "

If it's a buffer underrun, the data being fed to the CD writer is being interrupted in some manner. That's usually caused either by disk activity or a badly fragmented disk or a system just too slow to keep up.

If it's the "or something," then it's anybody's guess as to why the burn fails. Does the software give you any way to view the error it encountered?

 

Plextor Type

Hi,

My plextor is a 8 x 4 x 32 a version

and the software that i'm using is the newest Nero. giving me also the change to view the error if i want but mostly the error is burning process failed.. will check what kind of error it is exactly later on.

 

i've had the same problem as you. i use nero too. everytime i burned something, it would say "bufferunder avoided 150+ times" or more.

but after i formatted my drive, it's been fine since.

hope i helped

 

Hi,

Hi, Taki

Formatting my harddisk is no option i think.. but it began with the installation of Windows XP before that i didn't have a problem...
