To prevent the occurrence of a buffer underrun and to increase the efficiency of
data writing, try the following:
– Reduce the data writing speed.
– Create an image file on the hard drive.
– Optimize the hard drive. (Defragmentation)
– Do not start any application software including screen savers during data
writing.
– Deactivate the power management for the hard drive.

ROM drive to DMA. (P. 23)
– Deactivate the Windows Active Desktop.
– Quit all memory-resident software programs.
– Check your CD writing software settings with the documentation that comes
with it.
A writing error may happen if the drive is vibrated while data is being written on a
CD-R or a CD-RW disc.
