this question is in the "Read this first" post...but the link to the guide doesnt exist anymore....

This was said:
"More than likely your DMA settings have reverted to PIO mode CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives can revert to using PIO mode, despite being set to use "DMA if Available." Here's how to make Windows XP redetect the DMA capabilities of the drives. http://home.comcast.net/~bbmayo/DMA.html"


Need some more help as to why my drive is both ripping and burning slow....i have a LG dual layer 16X drive...512 mb p4 2.8
i have both my burner and my cd rom set to cable select mode.

I have my drives set to cable select, make sure your comp supports this. I have a Dell and that is the recommended, however you can set them to master and slave also.

yeah i have a dimension 2400...and it told me in the manual to put it to cable select....so after i enable DMA my burner will be able to actually read and write at what its supposed to?

I usually get an average of 5 to 7 with my Lite-on 167T reader on a dl pressed DVD, if it is a single layer pressed I will get 11 to 12 it all depends as stated on the encryptions and disk.
