Recently I have problem with burning CD at higher speed.
My CD writer is 48X. When I try to burn at even 40X, buffer goes to 100% and
burning stops at 5-7%. I wait 2-3 minutes and nothing happens. I even have

I am having hard time using XP's burn feature.
It seems to say in the XP documentation that all you do is to enable it by
putting the check mark in the square in properties in Windows Explorer which
I have done and then you drag and drop or highlight and go to FILE COPY and

I installed the 1673s in the system beside my Lite-On

For some reason I cannot play CD-Rs burned on my CD burner in our DVD
player which supports multiple formats (DVD, VCD, Audio CD, MP3, etc).
The CDs will play in our very basic portable stereo but the DVD player
reports a disk error.

I have received a CD which I need to rename as it has same volume number as
another I have and cannot be cataloged as a result. I  transfer files onto
HD, then write to a blank CD renaming volume whilst at it. However it
rejects file names as too long, beyond the 64 char rule. How ...

in my nero cdspeed tool, an audio cd check reveals about 1500 c1 errors
and 0 c2 errors.
I downloaded and tried cd/dvd Diagnostic by infinidyne and its analysis
says there are 200,000 plus 'soft errors' and no hard errors.

I have my DVD burner set as master and DVD reader as slave. Any problems
with swapping this around as I'd prefer to boot from the reader drive and
then I'd have access to a burner in BartPE. I assume you can't boot from a
slave CD drive.
