Preventing Buffer Underrun Errors
A Buffer Underrun is an error that occurs when the flow of
data to the CD-Recorder is interrupted. Once a buffer
underrun occurs, the CD creation process is halted.
The following are suggestions for preventing 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, select Options from the menu, and then follow the on-
screen instructions.
• Open the Systems Properties dialog box by clicking
System from the Control Panel. Click the Device
Manager tab and ensure that Allow Disconnect is set for
both the CD-Recorder and the hard disk.
• 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 drive).
