[JoaoTL]

Hi, i have the fowling Hardware

PIII 650
MB DFI ATA 100
HDD UDMA 66
CD-ROM UDMA 33
CD-RW 800 Philips 8x4x32
ECD Creator 4.05
Win 2000 Pro
IDE1 - HDD, RW
IDE2 - CD-ROM

I only can Copy copy cd-r´s with 4x, when using 8x lose the Buffer and the error occurs, i think is something wrong with the Drive. With VIA UDMA Drivers installed i get the error in *Creatr32.exe*, and i can not end the task for this software, remains in memory. Dont know what to do. There is nothing wrong when copying to RW Cd´s.

Hope someone can help me

Best Regards

Have these errors just started happening or has it been like that since you installed it. You may not get any problems copying CDRW's because it runs at 4 speed for ReWritables anyway. It just can't cope with the higher speed of 8x.

Try moving the CDRW to the same IDE cable as the CDROM. The CDRW may be slowing the HD and causing the errors. Make sure you adjust any jumpers as neccesary.

Hope that solves the problem

Thanks for helping. I already tried all possible combinations in IDE1 and 2, cd and rw, hdd and cd.... . Once i get a 8x speed recording with Win98 and ECD Creator 5, but with other Software i only can record at 4x. Now the drive in Testing Fase give me OK to pass tru recording fase, but when that happens Win2000 Crash and i have to Power Down the Computer, i no longer can Record nothing!!, i will sent it to RMA and see if it work with another Driver. MAYBE I SHOULD PURCHASE A ATA-100 HDD??. What is your opinion.

Thanks Best Regards

At first it sounds like simply your cd-rom cannot keep up with the CDRW, it happens with dvd-roms and CDRWs causing a buffer underrun. But Windows 2000 pro crashing after that is perplexing. I don't think it has anything to do with your HDD because I had a ATA-66 HDD on my old computer, running WIN98SE, 400Mhz Celeron, and 128MB PC-100 SDRAM and it did just fine. It just had buffer underruns once in a while because of the DVD-ROM I had with the CDRW like aforementioned. Since Win2k Pro is crashing on you, get ahold of a WinME or Win98SE disk and reinstall the OS. If 8x still doesn't work on either of those, I'd take that issue up with Phillips.

Good Luck!

P.S. I've always preferred Plextor, seems a little more reliable to me. =)
