101889 2002-11-27 07:17:00 When using Hot Burn I am now getting failures due to 'a buffer under run occured during the write operation. Error - operation was not successful'.
This only occurs with CDR and not CDRW. It happens both with data copy and disc copy.
What is wrong and how can I correct it? Hot Burn (now Iomega) do not want to know about it.

101890 2002-11-27 08:06:00 try slowing the burn speed down. cdrw typically is done at a slower speed.

otherwise post details on make/model/speed of cd burner, specs of pc, how it is setup. more details the better. has it always done this or has it just suddenly started buffer undering?

as tweak'e suggests try a slower burn speed and also turn off all programs that might be running, screensavers, antivirus systems etc.

good luck,

Bob

101893 2002-11-27 22:33:00 what's the spec of your machine?

As you mentioned that it will error out on both data and disc copy . . .

Unless you've got an old machine or youv'e set up incorrectly, most HDD can keep up with the burner without any problems .
