Problem burning onto CDRW that are rated 1x-4x

[Amitai]

Hey,

I bought a large quantity of Maxell CDRW discs that only
now I noticed are rated "1x to 4x certified".
I just bought a new cdrw (24x) drive that came bundled
with Nero Express.

Neither Nero nor NTI Premium (which I previously bought)
can burn onto these discs. I keep getting buffer under
run. I changed manually in WinXP the CDrw speed to "2x"
(just in case 4x was also too fast) and NTI only lets me
burn at 4x (I tried to set it to 2x but it won't let me).

Is there anyway to salvage these discs? It would be a
waste to "throw" them out. Is there anything to do (in
addition) at the OS level? or Would a software that would
let me burn at 2x/4x work? (if so anyone know one?). or
should I return the CDRW and get a better brand

The CDRW is Artec WRR-52X

Thanks,
Amitai

Generally, a buffer underrun means that the writer is using data faster than
it's being fed. Many writers can protect against that, but if yours doesn't
the best thing you can do is to not do anything else with the computer while
you're burning cds. No surfing the net, no other programs running etc.
