I was having a problem with Nero earlier so i decided i would just clean it out and get the same one that y'all had recommened a couple months back ... i know that once it is done transcoding and making menus, it starts burning on the disc.. but now it takes an hour and a half just for the burning..before cleaning and re-downloading it would take about 12 mins. what is going on?
Hi fkcast That's part of it. Check under 'current transfer mode' too - dma should be listed there too. If pio is listed follow the guide in the link gwen gave.
Ok well under the Advanced Setings tab it says : Device 0 Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: Ultra DMA mode 5 Device 1 Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: Not applicable Does this help?
Yep it does. From what your posted that looks like the primary ide channel - just your hard drive is connected on this. So check the secondary ide channel - what does that one say?
Ok well i have 2 primary and they both say the same thing and i have 2 secondary: 1st secondary Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: Not applicable Device 1 Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: Not applicable 2nd Secondary Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: PIO Mode Device 1 Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: Ultra DMA Mode 2
2nd Secondary Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: PIO Mode <<<<<<<<<PROBLEM!!!!! Switch that to DMA. Device 1 Device type: auto detection Transfer mode: DMA if available Current transfer mode: Ultra DMA Mode 2 Hope that works for ya!! Weycraze
it wont let me change it ... do i have to go through the process Gwen posted.. im worried that i may mess something up.. =[
Right click on that secondary ide channel then click uninstall & ok. Now reboot and let windows do it's thing. You should be fine - windows will re detect it and reinstall hopefully correctly in DMA Mode.
ok well i hope that works I mean i was just burning last night and had no problem.. Then woke up in the morning and decided to burn a movie and the entire process took 3 and a half hours as to where it usually takes about 2 for transcoding and burning... i hope this works... Thanks for the help!! =] hopefully you wont see me here tomorrow! =]
It should do the trick for you. If you're ripping discs and are getting crc/read error windows will step down the dma modes until it reaches the sloooow pio mode. Keep us posted - good, bad or otherwise
