Recorder Buffer Level Indicator In NERO
Ever since this morning when I go to burn a CDR it is taking twice as
long as it did yesterday. Also the recorder buffer level indicator in Nero is now going back and forth from about 10% to 90%. Before when the burn started the flashing light would stay on now it is starting and stopping like burn proof is being used. Also at times if I go to move my cursor it almost like frozen for a few seconds. Nothing has changed since yesterday when everything was fine. Running under XP Pro and in device manager under the IDE/ATAPI controller it is showing "use DMA if available" like before. But something is sure wrong. Can anyone help? Thanks |

In XP, the problem is most likely to be that your drive(s) have reverted to
PIO mode. It's a well-known bug in XP. Go to device manager and check it. (on the IDE controller, not the drive). If it is so, (check the hard drive(s) too), then uninstall the controller and reboot, that should fix it. If they still show UDMA status, do the same thing anyway just to be sure. wrote in message ... Ever since this morning when I go to burn a CDR it is taking twice as long as it did yesterday.

The particular flavor depends on your (unnamed) drive, but whatever it is, slowdown of a factor of two or more is exactly what one would expect. It is a Plextor PXW 40 The cure depends on knowing why the buffer was underrunning all of a sudden - and that depends on undisclosed factors, such as what sort of a write you were doing, whether it happened once, repeatedly with the same source or with a variety of sources. Burning MP3 files to an audio CD Disk At Once. It happens all the time now regardless of what I am trying to burn. Even data disks. Given some information, one of us may be able to help you. Thanks Mike I hope you can. |

Thank You! Exactly the problem the CD drive had reverted to PIO. Uninstalled the secondary as well as the primary just to be sure as you said. Problem Solved. Thank you again. I was going crazy. |

If you look in the Event Viewer, you may see recent CDROM errors showing. XP
will switch to PIO if it detects a certain number of errors. Nobody knows why. Windows2000 rules..... wrote in message ...
