It would help if you reported the results of a test as well as the
results of the burn. For example, if the test goes well and the burn
fails as you describe, I would suspect the medium. If the test fails
that way, you have not only saved the disc but also learned
something of value for diagnosis.

But what happened on the test? Did it succeed?

I had a similar problem. The original test was good.
The writer wrote one file of 84 and then wrote table of contents. This
one file was readable. The others were not. I deleted the written file
from the list and restarted the writer with import previous.
This time every thing was O.K. Try seeing if any of the files are
readable, then import those and add the new ones.

The writer is a internal Philips 3600 The test was O.K. When it started
to write it only wrote one file and wrote a TOC. The errors were ASPI
2171 I think. I then rewrote while just importing the first file and
deleting it fron the list in CDCreator. The result was fine.
I have written 5 disks and several times to a rewitable using both
DirectCd and EasyCD. Both the latest versions. My ASPI is also the
latest. I have the drive on the inside and two scanners on the outside.
The drive is terminated and so is the last scanner. The card is a
Adaptec 2940 basic. I have set the card as indicated by the adaptec
site.

1. Adaptec EZCD Creator Deluxe and Sony CDU-928E Instant buffer underrun after format...PLEASE HELP!!
After doing my usual periodic reformat, I tried to burn some new stuff
with EZCD... As soon as it started, be it a blank cd or a new session,
test track or actual burn, it would show 100% on the buffer, then
instantly start writing the TOC. It would produce the following
errors:
T0100: I/O error (06/C5/00) - Write error - buffer underrun occurred
T0100: I/O error (03/0C/00) - Write error
T7127: TrackWriter error - Flush failed
T7118: TrackWriter error - Command retry failed
D0100: I/O error (05/89/00) - sense code 0x89
I couldn't find any clues about the last message...
I tried big files, small files. I tried 1x and 2x.
I tried to uninstall reinstall the same version, I tried a newer
v.3.01, an older 3.01-even 3.5a--no luck.
Well, needless to say, I started getting withdrawal shakes...
I have a Sony IDE CDU928E, so I broke down and called Tech Support.
One of the first questions they asked was "which software came with
your drive?". I frantically reinstalled their relatively featureless
"CD-Right!" software while he was asking questions, not thinking this
would solve the problem, more to placate the tech...
Lo and behold, this software works fine?!?!?
I ran a test, even burnt a full cd.
The problem with the Sony software, it isn't multisession, and the
disk space available isn't even accurate (swell).
Running Win98 BTW. I also uninstalled/reinstalled older ASPI drivers,
played with the
busmastering, no help!
I even reformatted again, and OH! It worked for 3 days, then
dropped right out again!!
The thing that kills me, it was working beautifully prior to
reformatting.
Any help would be GREATLY, GREATLY appreciated!
TIA,
