SYMPTOMS
When you are using a Universal Serial Bus (USB) CD-R/RW drive to write (burn) CDs, you may receive buffer underrun errors, and/or the write process does not succeed.



CAUSE
There is no USB mechanism to reserve bulk transfer bandwidth. Other USB devices that are present, including network adapters, reduce the bandwidth that is available to the CD-R/RW drive, which results in buffer underruns during the write (burn) process.



RESOLUTION
When you are using a USB CD-ROM drive to write (burn) CDs, disconnect all other USB devices that are sharing the same bus as the CD-R/RW.
