Can't Get Info Fast Enough To Recorder

[rodbenderbillium]

Trying to copy a regular music CD. AFter about 30 seconds -burner will kick out CD-R disc and tell me recorder to slow in getting info

Dell Deminsion 4100-about 5-6 years old

P3-800MHZ

XP with service pack 2

512 Ram

Cd writer is a LG CD-RW CED-8080B-firmware is current

30G Hardrive

Any Ideas??

Thanks

I have 2 drives-one CD-Rom and the other of course is the burner. If I go from drive to drive-that is when it won't go-if I go to the HD first-then it will work-but of course is a lot slower

I will check the DMA

Thanks

Even though your system meets the minimum requirements, I don't think its capable of doing CD-to-CD copying and you will have to use the 2 step method.

I enabled the DMA on both channels-still didn't make any difference-getting the same message-"there was a problem reading data fast enough to your recorder"

I did clean the lenses on both optical drives-didn't make any difference

Do I need to upgrade to better Cd-rom drives/burners???

These drives are the original that came with the computer

Anything else I can do to avoid using the 2 step process????

Thanks

What changes would I need to copy disc to disc

Thank you

 

 

You have never said your copy on the fly speed! You should have no problem with disc copy at 8x or below, if it won't you have other system resource problems.

Do you only have the 1 drive in your system?Just wondering if your're doing drive to drive or caching to HD then transferring to drive.First off,try going to Device Manager and making sure that DMA is turned on for the IDE controllers in your machine.Then see what happens.
