I assume this is burning from a CD to another?
If so make sure that the CD drives are not on the same IDE, have the hard drive and the CD drive on one and the CD-R on the other, this will mean that whether burning from HD or CD the information will travel through the Motherboards buffer and *should* keep a better flow of information, ie no underrun.
Hope that helps

the CD-RW and CD-rom shoud not be on the same channel isn't always true, i get perfect burns, if you have a cd burner from the last....2 years, it should have buffer underrun technology built in, make sure it is selected, also, make sure that your DMA is enabled for the CD drives, update your software, and when burning, just to be safe, don't do anything else, all else fails, two options, one: listen to spoon, and burn from image, two: go on ebay, a 40/12/40 CD-RW is only $50

I agree with the option, copy to hard drive image first.
That way you will stop the problem (uses hard drive as a HUGE buffer).

I like the "copy to hard drive, then burn to cd" option.
It may have another added benefit;
If the disc being copied cannot be read you might avoid wasting a blank CDR by first trying to see if it will copy to the hard drive.
