I assume you mean when burning to a CD?
You need to check the config, is DMA enabled, etc, but if all else
fails, you can usually succeed by burning (saving) to the HDD first
then copying that to the CD.
You have that option in some of the CD Burning programs like Roxio
EasyCD and Nero, but I don't know about the inbuilt XP burning
capability - I've never used it.
