Just bought an LG GSA-H10L. My first burner. It's supposed to write at 16X, I'm lucky to get 2X. It takes over 24 hours to burn a disk. I've tried Nero and Roxio software. Any suggestions? Thanks
Well if the dvds are 4x or 8x for example and you set up nero right then im not quite sure. Are you doin something with your other dvd/cd drive(if you have one), also try setting up this drive as the primary ide drive. [bold]Also[/bold] try enamling DMA on your drive (can find how to do this in instrustion manual). I think that should do the trick, if not then maybe defragment your harddvrive. Hope this helps and Post with your results [bold]Edit: I found a guide to help you enable DMA that you might find useful http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038 [/bold]
Thanks for the info. WHile going through my system files yesterday, I found a file called "pxhelp20.sys". When I googled it, I found a lot of people have been having similar symptoms recently because of this file (most likely left over from the REcord Now uninstall) and it's believd to be related to a recent windows update. I'll go ahead and perform the steps you suggested as an added measure. Thanks again - I'll let you know how things work out
