Mitsumi CDR won't burn CD's????

[loul]

Please,please somebody help me.........!!!
I have installed the device (CR4804TE) and it gets to around 80-90% and a bufferun error occurs and the process terminates.Let me give you my PC spec and details of how it's installed,then i would appreciate anyone who could help me in as much detail as possible so i can get this thing up and running and start creating CD's (the only reason i bought it!!!)...........HERE GOES and thanks to all...........
pentium 166mhz
64mb RAM
Hard drive 1-primary master
Hard drive 2-primary slave
CDR-RW-secondary master
CDROM-secondary slave
I use NERO BURNING ROM and i have my second hard drive (D:\) as the cacheable drive.The memory is set at 28 MB (it is reccomended to set this up to 40% of your physical memory-not too sure what 40% of my physical memory is?)
Hard drive D:\ is a newly formatted drive so i would assume it is the best drive to use via the burning software?
What is causing this buffer underun?
Is there a certain way i should configure this thing?
HELP ME PLEASE>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Have you tried copying the entire image to your hard disk first and then burning it to CD?

With a p166 you will not be able to multitask when you are burning a cd. My burner has a minimum requirement of a p200. The memory setting relates to the amount of memory in your pc. You should set the burner to use about half of that.
Try disabling your antivirus software while you are burning cd's and disable anything that does not need to run (screen savers, programs that are not required for burning, etc.).
The error that you are getting indicates that the program is moving data from the memory (and burning it on the disk) faster than the system can put the data back into memory. So you have to make sure that anything that could slow this process down is stopped.
CMonsters suggestion is a good one so you should give it a try... especially if you are trying to copy an audio cd.

edit... reread the question! rewrote the answer!

It's best to keep the same problem-topic in the same thread. Please don't multiple post same as the troubleshooting path is destroyed.
