I've been getting about 2x out of DV-Rs, despite media switches and called Plextor for help, synopsis is below:

Tech rep said the problem is with my DVD burner being listed as "ULTRA DMA MODE 2" instead of MODE 4 or above. My Hard Drive is MODE 5 on the primary EIDE channel. and told me to uninstall the drive to see if it would be "recognized" on restart as a higher mode #, it didn't, tried again, it didn't so then he gave up and told me there was a problem somewhere else, but couldn't help me.

Here is my question, which I didn't ask him last night, when I installed the drive I used the same cables that came with my DELL, could this be the problem? The cables looked the same to me so I just changed the Plextor to master and the NEC (DELL) CD-R to slave off it. Is this the real problem or does it lie somewhere else before I start pulling cables.

Thanks in advance,
Seahawk02

Hi there,

I am not saying it won't work (Master / Slave), but Dell computers prefer "Cable Select" on all devices.

Make sure DMA is enabled, as you did.

Then you can do Read Benchmarks with CD Speed
