Problem
Question
Solution
The drive’s media tray
automatically ejects a disc
when you try to record on
it, or the drive is not writ-
ing to CD/DVD correctly.
Has buffer underrun occurred (has
something interrupted the stream of
data to the recorder)?
For the best recordings, follow these tips to avoid buffer underrun
interruptions:
✦
Quit all other running software programs before starting to
record.
✦
De-activate File Sharing if it is active.
✦
If you are making a direct recording, such as a copy, from a
CD or a DVD, make sure that the speed of the drive playing
the CD or DVD is fast enough to provide a sufficient data
stream to the LaCie drive. When making copies, it is recom-
mended that you transfer the material to be copied to your
hard drive, and then make the recording from the data on
the hard drive.
✦
Reduce the write speed of the LaCie drive using the appropri-
ate menu in the recording software.
