    It means that 'writing failed' - No, seriously, the "buffer Under run" means that you source data cannot be fed to the burner fast enough - the burner is looking for data to burn, but there is nothing in the buffer to deliver to the burner.
    You can try lowering the burn speed, or just don't use your computer while you are burning a CD.
    Also, you can try defragmenting your harddrive; if it is severely fragmented, it might not be able to deliver data to the buffer fast enough (has to search around a lot).
    You can't fool me, I'm a moron!
