    betcha your CD is PIO mode only transfer mode ... right click on My Computer and click manage, click on device manager and then click on IDE ATA/Atapi Controllers ... click on the primary ide channel (and secondary as well) and click on advanced settings and set transfer mode to DMA if Available ... reboot and see how you are getting on...

    Heh, cool, I just tried this, and now my 52x burns at the right speed, rather than 10x

    Just tried a 700Mb CD there, 3 mins. Sh*t CDs aswell.

    'Fraid not, both currently using Ultra DMA mode 2, I don't mind but it gets really annoying, simulation/speed test mode in nero says 40 speed max for the main media I use, so you'd think 24/32 speed would be possible. Glad it help some else though, (lend use uour drive will ya, go on, ah)

    At present no name 40X, had to restart tried to burn at 24x without Exactlink, lost bopth drives again, had to use, the leap of faith, "Last known good config".
    Last option, will try to stop all un-nessarry services tomorrow and try again, but a new install with only Nero, Norton Av and Winrar should not be so much hassle.

    A fresh installation won't help if by some how DMA isn't enabled on whatever channel in your BIOS.

    latest update,
    Stopped most services, updated to larest ASPI drivers 4.71.2, no change, next thing will pull the offending drive and stick it into a Win98 machine and see how it goes.

    I had this exact problem with an LG drive. I updated the firmware and hey presto: problem solved. The new firmware recognises more CD Media and knows what speeds they are capable of.
