I had a problem with an old Sony Xpressa drive that if it started doing buffer underruns, the only thing you could do to fix it was run a defrag on the computer. Then everything would work. It was strangely wierd.
another good point here. definately worth keeping in mind if you have a small hard disk, like 8Gb, and it is almost full. If you are doing a cd copy (or taking files from across a network), and it is not "on the fly" then the source disk is going to get copied to your hard disk before the burning process starts. if your hard disk if fragmented then this will slow the burning process as the data to be written is scattered through out the hardD.
