cure for underburn? |
|
|
It may have been caused by a patch for Windows Media Player (since
removed), but for whatever reason nearly every burning program I have on
my computer (Pentium 4, XP Home) now fails to make data CDs or audio,
giving me an error of underburn, where data is not supplied quickly enough
to the burner. I've even tried Deep Burn Portable (runs from a thumb
drive, so I don't have to depend on DLLs on the computer) and get a write
error which their limited troubleshooting says is underburn. DVD copying
still works and the basic Record Now that came with my computer will burn
a data disc.
No Nero, no EZCD, in deference to finicky DVD-copy programs.
Needless to say, everything worked before the WMP patch (damn Microsoft!).
Can anybody suggest steps I can take to eliminate this problem?

I think you refer to buffer under-run. Chances are good that your drive has
reverted to PIO mode instead of DMA. Go to device manager, uninstall the IDE
controller channel that the drive is on and reboot. It should re-install in
DMA status. Also confirm that the HD and all other drives are in DMA status.

I can't figure how to do what you suggest, other than unistalling the
driver (which I think would re-install on reboot). I found only one
mention of DMA in system hardware, and it's running, status 04. Nothing
about individual drives.

Should be in the Device manger under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.
The device should be in DMA mode if not remove and re-boot and it re-id's as
DMA mode.
If you can change it good. Has to do with after so many errors it drops to
PIO mode with out telling you. Kinda unless imo.
