It might be an issue with the drive's DMA. Those are pretty common with problems of long times like these.

[ashnik]

assuming u r using nero burning rom
enable "cache files smaller than 64 KB" under "Misc" tab in "New Compilation" window.

this will copy only smaller files to c: drive cache directory of nero, while the bigger files will be directly picked from their original locations at the time of burning. For being on safer side don't run heavy s/w's while burning. Fragmented files on HDD may end up in buffer underrun problem, if CPU is too busy.

Try resetting the DMA. Use this tool: DMA Reset
