When I create audio-files on a CD-R with my HP8100i CD-rewriter, it
always goes wrong, no matter what speed or buffer settings:
4X: the whole system hangs in the middle of recording, i cant even
ctrl-alt-del anymore
2X: when recording, he plays an small instance of the music every
10-15 seconds
    when playing the cd, it's as if there are scratches on the
surface, but it turns out there are some parts missing (he played
them, i guess, instead of recording)
1X: almost good, but I still have the annoyances described at double
speed (although much less)

A strange thing I encountered is that my buffer level is constant at
100%.
Is this normal?
I've tried about everything to avoid buffer problems (in the options),
but I can't figure out what's causing the problem, all it does is
taking more time to copy a cd.

pentium 200MMX
32MB RAM, 2GB HD, 18XCD-ROM, 8100i CD-RW

Does anyone has a solution?
