One of the solutions to bufferruns is to make sure your source(burner)and hard drive allow for disconnect. Under device manger my burner(Ricoh mp7040A)allows this. However my hard disk(generic ide disk type 47) under options has the disconnect, sync data transfer, and auto insert notification all unchecked. They are greyed out. and I do not know how to "check mark" disconnect.
Could this be a reson why I recieve so many buffer underrun errors.
note ...I always defrag,shut down all programs(three finger salute)and screen savers,virus scans.
