Awesome i did what u said, and i cant believe how close i was. My mistake was not looking in the IDE controller tabs for the DMA turn on. I am now decrypting a dvd with DVD DECRYPTer and my speed is 7.0 X (im sure with a little time and tweaking it willbe much faster) !!! Thankyou for your help and time. I will post again after a couple burns with results to make sure im running right. Thanks.
