Any tips for burning cds?

[GenAye]

Does anyone have any CD-Burning tips for me, since I have just recieved a new Sony 16x/10x/40x CD-R/RW and have purchased a copy of the latest edition of Nero. I currently have dma enabled and multiple anti-viral programs running in the background(AVG & Inoculate PE). Thanks

Modern buners combined with Nero have very few problems. Media too is very good these days with a miniscule rate of poor ones. Only thing i will say is that when doing a disk to disk copy, I always copy to hard disk first and then back to the disk being burnt. It takes a little longer than burning on the fly, but i have never had a single coaster doing things this way :)

get some essential Burn tools

- Fireburner (http://hwfaq.overclockersonline.com/goto.php?id=558) - to write .bin & .cue files
- CloneCD (http://hwfaq.overclockersonline.com/goto.php?id=562) - to make exact backups of CD's


and then read up on all that is CD writing ;)
hope this might get you started! (http://hwfaq.overclockersonline.com/dbase.php?catid=55)

Also one helpful tip that i still do today: Make sure you do nothing else with your computer while you are burning. That might be an old-school tip that is of no use with all these 'newer' burners....but oh well! hehe.

It also allows to have 2 burners on the same IDE channel writing @the same time ;D

i suggest placing them in a ceramic bowl and poring a small quantity of your favourite flammable liquid (mines lighter fluid) and tossing a lit match into it. :xnod:
