Go to Device Manager and expand IDE ATAPI/ATA Controllers. Open the Primary and Secondary IDE Channels using Advanced Settings and check the DMA settings. If DMA is not enabled for the burner, the CPU utilization will be excessive and will cause a temporary halting of the drive as you are experiencing. Transfer Mode should be "DMA if Available" and Current Transfer Mode for the burner should be "Ultra DMA Mode 2".
If the drive is incorrectly set to PIO mode, Uninstall the offending IDE channel (it will be redetected upon system restart). Restart the computer and open the system BIOS to make sure that DMA capability is properly set for the drive. Upon restart, hopefully the drive will be operating in Ultra DMA mode (if it wasn't originally). -- tedfroop "Good judgement is the result of experience ...
