Need help with my new CDRW

[Mrfrog840]

OK i went out to BB and bought one of those Samsung 48x16x48 (SW 248B)burners with the rebate. After i get it all hooked up, the fastest it says it can burn is 32x.... Im running Windows XP. I downloaded the latest version of Nero so that it would recognize the burner. Still, it only says it can burn at 32x and thats only sometimes. Then when i try to burn anything over 8x i get buffer underruns. I have a AMD Athlond 550mhz, 684mb ram. I have the buffer set at the highest.(think its 84mb) and i still get underruns. Anyone have a solution to the problem?

stupid question, but what speed is the cd-r that you're burning into?

uhmm optium 48x cds. Talked to a guy on FW and he burns 48x cds fine with his 450mhz pentium

Did you try adjusting teh settings in the program? You can change the speed at which it burns..

Did you enable burn proof? (for the buffer underrun errors).

Also, try Easy cd creator to check if it does the same thing. If so, you might want to call their tech support. You might need to flash the firmware.

Make sure dma is turned on, it usually is. Make sure it is set right in your bios. Is it ide0 slave or ide1 master or slave? What other ide devices do you have hooked up?

i have an old Sony CD-RW 4x4x24 hooked up. I know i can adjust how fast it burns. i want it to burn at 48x though:-/

Unhook the older burner if it is on the same channel and try to burn a cd.
