1. Bad ASPI open the CD-R ASPI driver is bad or missing and the SCSI CD-R cannot be found.
a. Check the installation of your CD-R drive and SCSI adapter , then check the driver installation .
b. Try reinstalling the SCSI driver .

2. Buffer “under run” at sector
a. The CD recorder’s buffer is constantly filled with data from the hard drive waiting to be written.This buffering action ensures that small slow downs in the flow of data from computer do not interrupt writing .
b. The above message indicates that the flow of data from hard disk to CD recorder was interrupted .
c. To avoid buffer under runs you should remove as much as processing load as possible from the system.
Top
3. The currently selected source CD-Rom drive or CD-Recorder cannot read audio in digital format.
a. This is more a warning than a fault.
b. Reading audio tracks in “digital format” is not the same as playing the music, and few CD-Rom drives are able to read audio tracks in digital format .
Top
4. Destination disc is smaller than the source disc.
a. The errors commonly occurs when you are trying to duplicate an existing CD to CD-R.
b. There is not enough room on the recordable CD to copy the source CD. Try recording to a blank CD.Use 74 minutes media instead of 60 minute media . Some CDs cannot be copied because of the TOC(Table of Content) overheads in CD-recorders , and also because of the calibration zone overhead.
Top
5. Disc is Write-protected.
a. You are attempting to write a disc that has already been closed .
b. Use a fresh blank disc for writing.
Top
6. Error 220-01-xx-xx
a. The error code often indicates that some of your software cannot communicate with a SCSI bus to reset .
b. In many cases, this is caused by conflicts between real mode & protected-mode SCSI drivers working in a windows 95 system.
Top
7. Error reading Table of content (TOC) or Program Memory Area (PMA) from the disc.
a. This recordable disc is defective or has been damaged .
b. Do not write this disc .Unfortunately, you can do very little, except discard the defective disc.
Top
8. General-protection fault
a. This type of problem has been identified with a adapter AHAr-152 family of SCSI host adapters and is caused by outdated driver software .
b. You can solve this problem by upgrading version 3.1 or later of adapter’s EZ-SCSI software .
c. If you’re not using adapter software, check for current drivers , check for current drivers for whatever adapter you’re using.
Top
9. “MSCDEX” errors has being encountered.
a. Early versions of MSCDEX had problems with files names containing “illegal” ASCII characters, such as a hyphen .
b. If a directory contains a filename with an illegal ASCII characters, you can still see all the files by doing a directory (DIR) from DOS.
c. However, one or more files listed after the illegal one might not be accessible or might give errors.
d. You should update MSCDEX to the latest available version.
Top
10. MS-DOS or Windows cannot find CD-R drive
a. There are several reasons why the CD-R drive cannot be found by any software.
b. First, turn the computer off and wait at least 15 sec. Be sure that the SCSI adapter card is firmly seated and secured to the computer case.
c. The adapter must be properly configured.
d. Check the SCSI cable and see that it is properly attached to the adapter & drive .
e. On the computer. If the problem persists, be sure that correct SCSI drivers are installed and that any command line switches are set correctly.

11. The “Disc in” in light on the drive does not blink after you turn on the computer.
a. For internal CD-R drives, be sure that the computer’s 4-pin power cable is properly connected to the CD-R drive unit.
b. For external CD-R drives, be sure that the power cord is properly connected to the back of the CD-R drive unit and is plugged into grounded power outlet.
c. Be sure that the power switch on the back of the drive is on.
d. Refer to your CD-R drive’s installation guide for more details.
Top
12. Write emergency
a. This error occurs if the drive is interrupted during a write action .
b. It is commonly seen when writing red book audio , but it can also occur with data.
c. For example , one typical reason for a write emergency is dust particles that cause the laser to jump off the track.
Top
13. The CD-R is recognized by Windows, but it will not function as a normal CD-Rom drive.
a. The drive appears normally in the windows device manager .
b. The drive that is operating the CD-R drive might not allow the drive to function as a normal CD-Rom reader.
c. For Example, this is known problem with the Philips CDD 2000 CD-R, check to see if an updated windows 95 CD-R driver is available to overcome this limitation.
d. If not, you might need to replace the CD-R drive with an upgraded model whose drivers do support CD-Rom type functionality
Top
14. You cannot read CD-R (gold) discs in some ordinary CD-Rom drives.
a. Laser calibration plays a big role. Some CD-Rom drive lasers are not calibrated to read recordable discs.
b. If your CD-Rom drive reads mass produced CDs, but not recordable CDs, check with its manufacturer to determine whether laser calibration is the problem.
c. The CD-R authoring software can be a problem.A good way to check whether incompatibility problem lies with the originating software is to test the same gold disc on several CD-Rom drives.
d. If one drive is capable of reading the gold disc back correctly, chances are that the problem was not in the recording process.
