CD Burning Porblem

Rico · 05-03-2004, 22:26

I have a new Lite-on 52 speed cdrw but with all the burning programs Ihave used, every time i burn a cd the first track allways only lasts about 7 seconds.
The rest of the tracks are fine.
The cdrw seems to work fine and as I say this has happened on a number of programs i have used.
Can any one help?

You might need to check the blank media that you are using. If it does not identify itself automatically to the system as to its maximum burning speed, you might need to configure the writer to burn slower.

Hi,

rdhw, you seem to have knocked the nail on the head. I reduced the burn speed to X32 and it works fine.
I hope this is more a problem with the media and not the writer itself. I suppose the thing to try is a different make of media. The current ones im using are Datasafe Media 80min CD-r. They are labelled as X52 speed?
Any recomendations?
Thanks for your help

I always burn at 8x, it takes longer, but more reliable burns.

just an thought, but presumably your CDR is relatively new, it may be your burning software is needing an update to include the new drive.
