For some goddamn reason, my drive tends to burn at 2x when it should be burning at 4x. It actually fluctuates in that sometimes i am able to burn at 4x and sometimes its 2x using the same media. And its not quality of the media either because I am using Taiyo yuden, one the best dvd-r's available. And also its not the dma i've already checked the settings are and they all right. Is there ne way i can fix this?
To help us to help you can you provide us with the info on your burning prog, you are using top quality discs but failed to mention burning prog and burner details.
What kind of burner/model/brand do you have? Maybe your burner has a rip/burn locked. Make sure your DMA is not in PIO Mode or Off Mode. Burning at 4X is good enough, don't go beyond that (4X is what I usually recommend newbies to burn -- it's the best and safest speeds for burning). Below is a mini guide to troubleshoot DMA issues.
((To enable DMA back ON by "uninstalling" its driver ?for Win XP users? by alkohol))
Here are some helpful pictures for references.
A) on "DESKTOP" right click on "MY COMPUTER," left click on "PROPERTIES"
B) left click on "HARDWARE," left click on "DEVICE MANAGER"
C) left click on + sign of IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers
D) double left click on either ?Primary? or ?Secondary IDE Channel?
E) left click on "DRIVER," left click on "UNINSTALL" You will see a "Warning: you are about to uninstall this device from your system," just click "OK," now "SHUTDOWN" or "Restart" your computer
F) once you restarted your computer, Windows should automatically detect your DVD burner?s drive and re-install it for you. That's it...easy as smoking!!
**NOTE: do these steps only if the above process failed to bring DMA back on, or you can do exactly like the above steps, except this time you "Uninstall" it from the ?DVD/CD-ROM Drives?
****at Device Manager**** (A) left click on + sign of DVD/CD-ROM Drives (B) double left click on your DVD burner or your DVD-ROM drive (C) click on "DRIVER," "UNINSTALL," "OK" and then "Shutdown" or "Restart" your computer. That's it... easy as smoking!!!
