Buffer Underrun Error
While trying to record a CD I keep getting the following message:
"E80041899 Write Error-Buffer Underrun Occurred [06/C5/00]"
I am currently using an Inspiron 5100 that has remained standard with the Dell factory software (Roxio) I have not installed any new devices which would interfere with the CD writer. It occurs with all files I am trying to burn, both music and data. My computer is somewhat new (2003) and I do not fill it up with useless stuff all the time. I have 55 gigs free on the hard disk.
I have done the troubleshooting but much of what it suggests does not apply to me. The device was working fine a few weeks ago. My target CD's are old, but clean and I can not imagine what has caused this. Everything else works fine. The drive plays both CDs and DVDs with no porblem.
Thanks for any help you might be able to throw my way.

data fast enough to the CD/DVD Burner. If the buffer under-run prevention option
is available, check it is enabled, if your drive supports that feature. Consider the
following to see if it helps identify or remedy the situation:
1. Try and lower the write speed so the drive is transferring data at a slower rate.
2. Make sure no other software is running in the background or you are not working
with another software program while a CD is trying to be written. Check for
background programs in msconfig.
3. If you are copying a CD, make sure the CD you are copying is not copy protected.
4. Verify buffer under-run is checked if you software and drive supports it.
5. Check to make sure source media and files are not corrupt or defective.
6. Try different media because inferior grade CD’s may cause a problem
7. Try copying the CD to the hard drive (Create image) then burning the CD from
the hard drive to the Burner.
8. Run Disk Defragmenter on your Hard Drive.
9. Check for Drive Firmware Updates.
