It seems like i am only getting 1x from the LG. When I try to rip a movie it takes 70-80min for a 30gig movie with speeds at about 5MBs. Can PIO be on instead of DMA? (I just thought about this and i am not at home to check). Movies playback fine I am running Gigabyte GA-MA770-DS3 mobo. Not sure what could be the problem otherwise. I am also running vista x86
