Actually I said where - that figure is the minimum reserved size 
As it happens I set that to 64 MB but I'm not sure it has any great effect.

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
adding and removing the secondary IDE channel seems to have done the trick.

What drives have you got and on which IDE channels are they ?
If as you say everything was ok, then it looks as if you have only bypassed a problem and not fixed the cause

primary channel has hard drive.
the secondary IDE channel has a dvd-rom and dvd-rw on it.

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
I always tend to run my Hard Drive & DVD/CD on the primary IDE channel, and if I do happen to have a CDRW/DVD then I whack that on the secondary channel.

Is that the way it is now ?? Did you have the burner on the same channel as the hard drive ? I've been told that this can cause the underrun problem due to trying to read and write at the same time  Just what I've been though myself in my sticky fumblings
