Hello,

I am having a problem with burning a CD-R. I am using Nero 6.3.1.20. Once I start to burn the CD I recieve little or none Used Read Buffer. Its taking a good hour to burn an ISO. Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated.

Sincerely, Deft

Also, make sure you have upgraded your burner to the latest firmware available.

DMA was enabled. My firmware was updated to latest before posting. It didnt fix the problem :cry: . Would having my local Disk F: not C: make this happen? This is the first time I have tried to burn anything after installing Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2.

Sincerely, Deft

What brand of CD-R are you using and it's rated speed?

Brand: Memorex Speed:40x But was using all speeds to see if it was rated wrong. I still had the problem.

Hello!

Is DMA enabled with your Plextor and the HDD?

What´s your configuration (Primary/secondary master)?

Which mainboard do you have?

If you're motherboard uses an nforce chipset, try using the default windows drivers instead of using the Nvidia IDE drivers.
