Failed writing a CD using
CD-R or CD-RW media

• Are both ends of the i.LINK cable

connected?

• Are i.LINK devices connected and

turned off that cannot pass the
signal through when powered off?

• Are there too many devices (63

maximum devices)?

• Are there too many hops between

any two devices (16 maximum
hops)?

• Is Apple FireWire 2.1 installed?

• Is there enough space left on the

media for another session?

• Buffer Underrun (Something has

interrupted the stream of data to
the recorder) Following is a partial
list of possible causes:

• Software related interruption. Is a

screen saver, your internet or
email program or other software
application interrupting the write
process?

• Is media clean?

• Fragmented hard drive?

• Is it an older hard drive conducting

a thermal recalibration in the
middle of the write?

• Bad or scratched media?

• CD-RW media full of data?

• Use the CD Software to

verify the drive is “seen.”
Once the connections are
verified restart the
computer if there is more
difficulty.

• Any devices that need

power to pass the signal
should be powered on.

• No more than 63 devices.

• No more than 16 hops

between any two devices.

• Get FireWire 2.1 or later

software from
www.apple.com.

• Writing a session requires

lead in and lead out
overhead (about 15
megabytes per session) in
addition to the data that is
recorded.

• Select a slower write

speed.

• Disable functions that will

interrupt the write
operation.

• Make sure there are no

fingerprints or dirt on the
recording surface of the
CD-R or CD-RW media.

• Defragment hard drive

with defrag utility.

• Consult with manufacturer

or vendor.

• Replace media.

• Erase or Format media

before writing.
