Mikey are you there??!?

I need help again, I have a pc running XP, its not malware this time as you have helped me before on some real nasty problems under the title.. 'need a good techie'.

this is a little different, i have a pc with 1 cd burner and a cd rom, but i keep getting buffer overruns when i try to burn any kind of cds? I have checked the cd speed and the drive speeds (both are 48x) and i have even gone right down to 4x to try to burn. no luck . gets to the end and buffer overrun. im going mad on this one. please help me!!!

using nero 6 ultimate, i have it on another clients pc and it works fine.. i have even reformatted and that has made no difference.

any ideas?

yes yes..i am still here, so CD's ehh?

the problem you are describing usually relates to the fact that the cd's are both running on the same channel. I remember you are pretty good inside a PC so just open the case and have a look, see if the 2 CD drives are sharing the UDP cable on the same channel, If it is.. thats your problem.

change one of the drives onto the channel as a slave on the HDD and you should be good to go.

kind regards

thanks mikey really appreciate it.

The drive that is set to slave, it is a slave of what your Hard drive or the other CD rom drive?

Make sure it isn't a slave to the other CD Rom drive (this means the same channel - that would be the same problem Nat - the poster above had)

make sure it is a slave of the hard drive, and you should be fine.
