Defective CD-RW?

CD, DVD and (Ultra HD) Blu-ray Writers
#1

I’ve got a Medion laptop which comes with a 24x Samsung CD-RW.

According to Nero, the drive does come with a buffer-underrun protection. However, when I was doing some cd-cd copying ( well, more like cd -> hard drive -> cd), and the laptop made about 5 coasters at 24X!!

Since I only had Nero open , with my P4 2.6, even the 4200rpm drive inside the laptop should be able to sustain enough transfer rate. Therefore, I am doubting that the CD-RW is defective.

Are there programs out there that will determine the correct functionality of a CD-RW??

Thanks

Post the Nero log (minus the serial number, which is within the two few lines) - that way we can take a look to see what is happening. Without it, we’re just guessing.

Buffer underruns are not the only way that a burn can fail.

This section is where I was trying to copy a cd worth of music videos and stuff…

Thanks in advance!!!

Before trying anything else, I’d attempt to upgrade to Nero 5.5.10.56 - that particular error can, so far as the information I can find shows, point to driver bugs in the writing application.

Nero 5.5.10.56 can be got from ftp://ftp4.nero.com/Nero551056.exe - once you’ve upgraded, do you still have a problem?

Ahhh…

Thanks for the reply, I will try that immediately.

My instinct tells me it wasn’t the burner since the computer is practically brand new :slight_smile:
