Assuming your board is revision 2, latest Gigabyte issued drivers are here:
http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Motherb [...] 202.x).htm

Or go and get reference Nvidia chipset drivers from their website.

To be honest, unless your current drivers are really pants, I suspect the
problem lies elsewhere.

Tell us more about your IDE configuration, BIOS settings, etc.

Actually I have Nero, DVD Decryptor, and Clone DVD and it seems to
affect them all.
I actually am running Norton 2002 currently since I have had some
problems with the Norton
that came with the board. Maybe I will see if I can find a 2005 version
and try it. I don't get
any buffer underuns since my buffers seem to recover just before that
point, also my buffer underun
protection should prevent this in theory. Thanks for the replys, Phil
