Preventing Buffer Underrun Errors
S
Did you know... In extreme cases, some errors may render your
disc unusable. If this occurs, it may be necessary to start over
with a new disc and then properly dispose of the old disc.
A buffer underrun is an error that occurs when the flow of data to
the CD-Recorder is interrupted. When a buffer underrun occurs,
the CD creation process is halted.
The following suggestions may help prevent buffer underruns:
■ Close other programs and disable tasks or applications
running in the background such as screen savers and virus
software.
■ Ensure that the temporary files created during CD recording
are created on the local hard disk, not in a directory on a
network drive.
✎
Note To change the location where the temporary files are
stored, click Tools from the Easy CD Creator menu, select
Options, and then follow the on-screen instructions.
■ Do not attempt to record CDs from files on a network. If the
desired files are on a network, copy them to your local hard
disk before recording the CD.
✎
Note A buffer underrun error can occur on single or dual optical
drive systems (CD-ROM, CD-RW, or DVD-ROM drives).
