Ok, well, I deleted both secondary IDE's, and now DMA is back ON. I ran the Nero disk tool and DMA is on for my BURNER and for my 2nd DVD ROM. I have two drives. I made a test burn, it's it's FIXED! 14 min to burn a dvd. Question: Before, DMA was off for both drives. I'm assuming DMA should always be on for every optical drive? Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!

I have read through all the previous posts and I am having a similar problem. Here is some back ground. I was running Win2000 when I bought my burner. I bought what I thought was a Sony DW-D18A, which I later learned was really a LiteON SOHW-832S. After much research on the web I learned that because my drive is gear driven that I could flash it as a Sony DRU 700a. I took this chance and it worked. I started burning discs at around 15 min. I'm using Nero Ultra Edition 6. Then I decided to upgrade to XP. Since I upgraded I can still burn but now it takes 50 min to an hour. After reading and researching again I installed the ASPI drivers and according to ASPICHK all is well, but according to Nero InfoTool all is not well. So I decided to uninstall the drive and then reboot. This did not help. Then I decided to uninstall the IDE controller. When I rebooted it reinstalled, but now there is not advanced tab to check the DMA setting. I am not lost. Can you offer any help?
jasonnB, Please go in and either edit your IMG's or delete them as you've thrown the forum's borders so far out of wack it's making it extremely difficult to field any information. johnmark, Please start a new thread as JasonnB has pretty much destroyed this one - Thanks, Pete
