Restart system if necessary; rerun drive installation software or tape backup installation software. Any drive type Slow operation Use fastest parallel port mode (EPP or ECP) available. Use drive or backup program setup utility to adjust speed of port. CD-R/CD-RW Buffer underruns; Use fastest parallel port mode (EPP or drive can’t make CD-Rs reliably ECP) available. Reduce write speed. Avoid using computer for other tasks while making CD-R. Use packet-writing with CD-Rs to reduce load on CPU if media will be used on computers that can accept multisession CD-Rs.
