Burning Speeds

[TheMaskedm0m0]

Steps for a successful burn at higher speeds:

1) Make sure all applications and ####tup items are closed and disabled. No web surfing, no listening to WinAmp, no nothing! Hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, nothing but Explorer and Systray should be in there.

2) ##### the specs on your on CD-RW and make sure it has a nice large buffer size and if it has Burn-Proof.

3) If you have an IDE CD-RW make sure it does not sit on the same channel, cable, as any device like a hard drive. Having a setup like that only complicates things.

4) Make sure you are using burning software that returns little if no Buffer Underrun errors. Roxio/Adaptec's Easy CD Creator almost never has a BU error.

5) Once you have confirmed the above steps you may proceed to burn at 8x or 10x. I have burned at 12x with no errors. So go read a book or the newspaper while the CD is being burnt.
