Trying to figure out CD Writer
Ok,
I am running windows 98 and I have adaptec gold. I have tried to use Nero 6 aswell and i still have the same problem when attempting to burn cd's. What happens is the cd will start being burned and then the write speed will just drop from 4x to 2x to 1x and then it just stops writing and i end up with a useless cd. How can I go about troubleshooting this problem? Do you think its the actual cd writer or what are the other culprits?

please dont tell me u have some whack *** system and tryin to burn direct mp3s into an audio cd...cuz that will eat alot of ram and if u dont have alot in the first place...well there it all goes and out comes a coaster
try converting audio to wav first then burn an audio cd...also defrag your computer and as said before disable antivirus and screensaver during the burn process and dont try to use the computer during burning...and if all else fails use an older version of nero like nero 5 or sumthin

thats what i'd say, on my comp at home, i couldn't have anything running, not explorer or even messenger, if i did i would just get acouple songs done and it would quit.
i've never liked nero that much, i've always used cd creator platnium, downloaded off of kazza, works perfect...as long as nothing is running.

I'm trying to burn mp3 file type cd's and ive tried wav cd's aswell, neither works. The computer is an HP 9682C and the burner is from LG. I have tried the not doing anything at all but I havent tried it with the antivirus disabled.

chris can you try burning a TEST cd and see if it works, bypasing the physical portion?
have you tried using the disk speed check in nero to see what kinda flow of data your getting?
could very well be the burner I had a similar problem on my ricoh i had a few years ago and it was dead.

i did the test thing wit nero and it was around 30-40kbps or something?
Im trying to think, im pretty sure the Test cd worked and then i would do the actual cd and it fucked up.
Maybe what i need is a 40x external cd writer?

In nero you went to FILE >> PREFERENCES >> CACHE
Test all drive speeds? and got 30-40 kb/s
if so somethings def wrong there, Im getting 21,000 kb/s on my C drive and 6,600 kb/s on my D drive.

but try and get this one workign if you can

nope didnt do that......it was the test for the cd speed or something like that. I already deleted nero, so i cant do the test again.
Should i try doing a cd with the antivirus and task scheduler off?

sounds like u are lacking RAM ... is it a buffer underun errors u getting??..maybe the HD aint quick enough...
external 40X requires firewire setup, or USB 2.0 or faster...most sytems stock are USB 1.0
oh if nero dont work nothing will get it back .... easy cd creator is a gimpy program :thumbs down bigtime:
