- testing the ability to read dat digital audio
- digital extraction speed

the following testing goes up to 46% after that entire operation stop.

I had lots of trouble trying to get my HP 9100i CD burner to work consistently under W2K (it still occasionally burns coasters). I found that setting my primary and secondary IDE channels from "PIO" transfer mode to "DMA if available" in Device Manager made a big, big difference...

Thanks for the support, I tried DMA changes and still the problem remain same.......

I had the problem once, and i used the updates from adaptec easy cd-creator, and i stopped making coasters.

I also found that I had to write the audio cd's down to file, and it works good now.

Agree with above post.

I have an Acer 4x2x32 and what stopped the coasters for me was updating the firmware of the drive and updating the Adaptec software that came with it. (The link to the Acer firmware site was on the Adaptec page!)
I was only able to make audio CD copies by copying directly without copying to hard drive first.
