Have you tried using different CDs? Or are these the kind youy always use? Maybe you have a dodgy batch?

Well i bought 50 cheap ones on a spindle and a few of them worked ok, the rest fucked up, so i switched to maxwell gold 80 min, £5 for 10, and a few have worked but the rest are causing problems.

Weren't you the one with problems with Nero before? I remember someone posting a topic about that. If it is you, I'd suggest trying to use a different Burning program.

Sounds like a dodgy batch to me.

As an experiment, try slowing down the speed you're burning at. I have to drop to 4x when I use Easy CD Creator (for Data CDs), otherwise it get f**ked. Just a suggestion.

you don't have enough I/O to burn the CD's at the speed your trying to. Basically the processor is spitting out bad data to burn on CDR cos it can't keep up with the writer. the device chain that the writer is on might be PIO aswell which is very bad. It stands for Programmed In/Out meaning everytime an instruction is to be sent to a drive it has to be routed back through CPU. Much slower this way, your cpu use can be 100% just from writing a cd (or accessing a disc) on 1.6ghz machine easily. Usually only happens if your motherboard has a dodge implementation of ACPI and you are using a newer os (like winxp). It reroutes all irqs to the same one which sometimes fucks up the onboard secondary IDE controller (if your acpi implementation is fucked anyways) so it has to run in PIO mode (vs. DMA). Basically *first* try burning at a godly slow speed like 12x or even 4x if that doesn't work then swap channels on your drive (put it as primary slave). I can help more if you tell me what chipset your using , and other machine specs...

tip 1. dont buy cheep cd-r's, they bite u in the ass eventually.

tip 2. dont use ur pc while buring, and burn slower without using the PC at all, buffer underruns when the pc is doing shit aswel as burning.

try not to run other programs while burning.
or update nero if your nero is not the latest version
or just dl nero and install it again
hmmmmmmm

or u can just borrow my 52x firewire external burner.

no shit I go through about 50 a week and buy the cheapest shit i can find.

your computer is just fucked up. to see if its a nero problem or a computer problem download alcohol 120%

create your playlist in nero and as the writing device change it to imagewriter.

save the .nrg to the desktop

use alcohol to burn the image.

if it still fucks up its your comp, if it doesnt its nero
