what's wrong with my CDRW? more than 20% work cannot be done.

[koolhead]

the rate of successful buring is less than 80%. there should be something wrong but i have no idea. can anyone give me some hints?

SONY CDRW 12X8X32
PIII500 384M 30G@5400rpm.
Nero 5.0 @ Windows98
buffer 128M.

You have to give us more details than that...what happens? It just stops working? Or what?

 

[koolhead]

always it said run out of buffer...or some similar words like that.

btw, it's not burn-proof.

see, i set 128M as buffer size..should be big enough..Nero suggests not more than 40% of size of RAM>

I had a similar problem with nero. try updating your aspi drivers.

get them here.
run instaspi, reboot, and you should have the latest aspi drivers.

Defrag your drive first.

do you have DMA enabled for hdd,cd/dvd drive & burner in device manager?
if you're trying to copy cd>cd then perhaps your reading drive is too slow so either decrease your burning speed or image to hdd first & burn the cd from the hdd copy!
if copying cd>cd, best to have reader & burner on seperate ide cables, unless you have scsi!
