pioneer 107d

Site update - March 16th 2010

AfterDawn.com has been updated! In addition to renewing the layout of the site we have also speeded up things considerably. The new version has been tested on our Finnish site for several months, and during the testing we have managed to improve the new version even further.

You can now enjoy this new layout at English AfterDawn.com and English Discussion Forums as well! We have also introduced new sections to the site, and re-arranged things a bit.

Hi mobties, The write speed of any drive is usually determined by the listed speed of the blank media. If you have an 8X drive and are using 4X media, it should burn at 4X. Installing a hacked firmware sometimes lets a drive burn 4X media at higher speed and will unlock the rip speed also.
Also check that all your IDE channels are set to DMA in device manager, not set for PIO.

It's incompatible media if it drops to a wierd speed like 1.5*.

Usually sorted with a firmware update.

Personally if you are not confident about flashing the firmware - change the media.

As stated above you will need 8* to burn at 8*.

I don't know what I am doing.
