I have a feeling it's a LiteOn drive but I'm not certain yet.
Regardless, from that CD Speed scan is appears that DMA is not enabled. Try enabling it and see if that does the trick.
BTW, what I wanted (and would still like) is the drive information from
Nero InfoTool. I said CD Speed by mistake, but in the long run if may have been a good thing if the above sugestion is your problem. If you drive is a LiteOn you've got many neat tools you will be able to play with (see my signature), plus you should be able to upgrade to LiteOn firmware.
If that doesn't work try everything found below (obviously you will have already tried #3):

2. Make sure your BIOS has DMA enabled.
3. Make sure DMA is enabled on your IDE channels in Windows Device manager. Windows XP guide HERE. Windows 9X guide HERE
4. Check your IDE ribbon cable(s). It is recommended that you use an 80 wire UDMA IDE cable with a DVD writer. Replacing an old IDE cable has been known to solve DVD writing issues for many people.
5. Uninstall Intel Application Accelerator. (if applicable)
6. Using Nforce Nvidia IDE drivers and having problems? Uninstall them and reboot so that Windows loads the default Micrsoft IDE drivers.
7. Uninstall ANY packet writing software. Many people have had issues with packet writing software(s). Examples include Aheads’ InCD, Roxios’ DirectCD, and Sonics’ DLA.
8. Having issues with reading/writing a certain media type? Update to the latest firmware. PRINCO media is very poor quality and has been known to cause issues with all DVD writers. Many users have reported problems with RitekG04 media and the ND-2500A, search the forum for threads on this topic.
9. Defragment your harddrive! Obviously, DVD video files are very large and can quickly fill your harddrive to capacity. A fragmented harddrive can cause problems during DVD burning. Make sure to defragment your drive(s) regularly.
10. Problems with Nero? Make sure to update to the latest version! Many people prefer using RecordNow (including myself!) as their burning application. Ssseths’ RecordNow guide is an excellent reference!
11. What else can I try? Put your writer in a completely different PC and see if the same behaviour occurs. If there are no problems in another system, there is nothing wrong with the drive.
12. Other issue? Don’t forget the SEARCH button located at the top of every page! Dee-ehn also has a nice FAQ here. |
