Of course, on the lighter side, that might make one check mark for the XP you hate so much. (actually, considering your stance on XP and W2K, surprised you even had it at all)

I upgraded Nero to the latest Version, and flashed the firmware of the CD drive (Khypermedia 48x/24x/48x) to the latest Version. No change. |

Well, that's certainly fair enough  . Kind of like trying out an American car and then wising up enough to go back to Japanese (uh-oh...do I see a can of worms being opened?).
Actually, to get back on topic...I don't burn mine at full speed anyway. For some unexplainalbe reason, I think I get better results and a wide variety of PCs by doing that...especially our (3-drive) CD duplicator at work.

Re: CD Burning Speed
Fyron you might want to check and see if UDMA is activated in device manager for the IDE channel that your CD burner is hooked up to.
Right click on My computer then pick manage
then pick device manager
somewhere in the device manager list it should say IDE controller
then expand that and look for primary and secondary ide channel... even if you don't know which one your CDR is on you should be able to look at the properties of both IDE channels. Under their advanced tabs make sure "DMA if available" is set. If the drives are not running in UDMA mode then that's most likely the problem as the drive is not getting information into it fast enough to burn at high speed...
Lemme know if that helps...

Re: CD Burning Speed
Yep, sounds like that standard 2000 pitfall. DMA is, for reasons unknown to everyone except probably the crazy mind of the antichrist B.G. himself, default OFF in 2000 after the installation.

Really I have no idea what you just said. I must be over tired or something because I could not make sense of it.

Re: CD Burning Speed
Translation: DMA support for IDE drives is off by default in windows 2000. And it's a great sin of Bill Gates, obviously |
