Hello All,
A while ago I purchased a large capacity Hard drive. I just put it right in and it worked all nice and dandy, however, for about the same amount of time, I have had a lot of trouble burning a CD from both Toast and iTunes.
For some silly reason, I put all of the data on the old small master drive, and put the system on the new larger (faster) slave drive.
Would this cause the problems in burning? Should I transfer all of the system stuff to the smaller master and the data to the faster larger slave?
I am always getting those nasty burn under-run errors. This doesn't make sense to me as the data (mostly music) that I am trying to burn is coming from the faster slave drive. 
If anyone could help, this would be sOooO nice!

"Master and slave" in IDE is one of the worst nomenclatures I've come across in computing. Master is in no way superior to slave. Think of it as "drive 1" and "drive 2". The only thing is that if you have only one drive, it must be the master -- you can't have just the slave. But other than that, the drives are complete equals.
I suppose it's possible that the old drive is really slow, and the CD burner really fast, but every CD burner made in the last 3 years or so uses buffer underrun protection, which makes underruns impossible.
Anyhow, this is in the wrong forum -- the Mac OS X forum is for discussing the Mac OS X operating system itself, NOT for discussing software and peripherals that run on it.
