buffer underrun!
i keep getting buffer under run error messages. i've tried everything. different types/brands of blank cds. i've even tried different software and updating the original software that came with my laptop. inspirion 5100...
if it helps...when it does manage to burn the cd, you can see the individual tracks burned onto the blank cd. it shouldn't look like that!
Help!
What do i do?

- If you are receiving a buffer under-run error message, then your PC cannot transfer
data fast enough to the CD/DVD Recorder. If the buffer under-run prevention option
is available, check it is enabled, if your drive supports that feature. Try the
following to see if it helps 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 from a CD-ROM drive, 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. If you are copying from a CD-ROM drive to the CD/DVD Recorder try copying
the CD to the hard drive then burning the CD from the hard drive.
8. Run Disk Defragmenter on your Hard Drive.
9. Check for Drive Firmware Updates.

On your particular model laptop of the optical drive is attached to the primary IDE controller.
Have a look in device manager> IDE controllers> primary IDE> properties> advanced settings. Ensure that you currently have used DMA is possible and under the current transfer mode the box shows a setting which includes DMA.
