I am running CD Creator 5 on a Win2k workstation. It is a 1 gig system with 256MB of RAM and 4.5GB of free drive space.
Whenever I am creating a CD, it almost completes the write process and then stops with the following error;
T0100: I/O error (06/C5/00) - Write error - buffer underrun occurred
T0100: I/O error (06/C5/00) - Write error - buffer underrun occurred
T7127: TrackWriter error - Flush failed
T7118: TrackWriter error - Command retry failed

I have confiremed the following

The Temp directory is empty
There are no other programs running including screensavers
CHKDSK and Defrag are run regularly
This occures, no matter what brand of CD I use.
I have tried writing at a slower speeds

I have also tried using my old version of CD Creator 4 with the same results. Roxio's website was of no help nor does Microsoft have anything related to this.
I am reasonably sure it is not the CD-RW. A friend of mine has the same problem on his Win2k system.

Any help would be appretiated.

Uninstall Direct CD if it is installed, see if that helps, it has caused problems for other Win2k systems. If the problem persists then I would uninstall the EZ Cd and install Nero to see if it will clear the hurdle.

I had the same problem. This worked for me (not to say it is the recommended fix). I turned off all screensavers and power management options, then increased the page file size to maximum. Solved the problem immediately and with only one reboot.Oh yeah, I also tried shutting off the virus protection. Then I turned it back on to see if it wold work with Nortons running in the background, and it did. Good Luck.

All previous replies are good suggestions. I have been battling EZCD for a while too but I gave up. Adpatec's solution to this problem is runnig scandisk and defrag and clean temp folders. Even tips from websites like gamecopyworld didnt help. I started using different burning software and if EZCD coastered 5 cd's then the other would not coaster one. I'm currently using Winoncd but still running the adaptec DirectCD. It works great so start using a different program and your burning experiencewill be a more pleasurable one. Adaptec might be the coolest looking but its definitely not the best.
Good luck

Good News. I finally got the problem solved. I uninstalled everything related to the CD writer both hard ware and software. I then ran regclean, chkdsk and defrag in that order. Reinstalled the hardware and software. System has been working great ever since.
I want to thank everyone for their help in this matter.
