Secondary IDE Chanel and VIA bus master controller altogether?
Hi there, DMA is off on all your devices ! Turn it ON You have a VIA motherboard, you might need to reinstall your Motherboard drivers to get DMA on ! OR uninstall and use generic windows generic drivers ! ? CMC Mag ?? Those are the worste media on the market I would not burn those faster than 2x !!! When having burning issues, I always burn at the lowest speed and use DVD-RW / DVD+RW media, so I don't make 50 coasters
