When burning a CD from my library (APE format) I get to the
end - where MC tells me it's writing the lead-out and closing
the session - and I consistently get lockups. Eventually MC
(version 10.0 by the way) will tell me "logical unit not ready,
operation in progress" and from there my only option is to
shut down the machine.
The activity light on my CD/R drive (Toshiba DVD-ROM model
SD-R1002) stays on until I shut down, and typically I have to
actually unplug the machine for a minute or so to get a clean
restart.
The burned CD (audio format, by the way) plays all right, but
the quality seems off somehow to my non-audiophile ear.
Oh, I have "DMA If Available" set in the ATA/ATAPI section of
Device Manager.
Hmm, I just thought of something - I'm not using Ultra DMA
for my drives, because I'm running an old version of linux as
a second OS and it doesn't recognize it - the BIOS checks
for UDMA devices when it starts, then gives up and just runs
conventional IDE.... Could this be related to my problem?
Oh yeah, MC is version 10.0.
Thanks for any info.
