I have a DRU-540a and its max burning speed is 40x.. i installed 120% alcohol and changed the setting to safedisk 2/3 and burned my cd.. after it was finished i went to burn another cd and noticed that the max speed dropped from 40x down 32x so i closed alcohol and opened nero and noticed that it was at 32x as well..im using 48x compatible cd-rs and i was able to burn 2 cd's at 40x before installing alcohol about 20 mins earlier...does anyone know how to fix this?
MilkStain, Have you checked to see if you're in DMA or PIO mode ? Device manager, IDE, your burner, advanced properties - http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/storage/IDE-DMA.mspx You want DMA. You can always uninstall your burner and let windows find it again. Also, do a Defrag and most importantly, clean up your registry - that will slow you down no matter what else you've done - http://www.download.com/3000-2094-881470.html?tag=list Check your ASPI LAYER - http://aspi.radified.com/ Recheck your Firmware - http://forum.rpc1.org/dl_all.php Cheers, Pete
I cleaned my reg,defraged, updated my firmware...when i updated my firmware it showed it being able to write at 40x but once i inserted the disk into the drive it went back down to 32x
