more than likley its your pio/dma settings. go to device manager & pull up your hardware. go to ide ate/atapi controllers & make sure both are on dma not pio.

you need to change that. right click that drive & click uninstall. reboot your pc after that & windows will change back to dma. after reboot recheck those controllers & make sure both are dma. after that your good to go.

hello, below is the method i use to copy dvd's. i've done hundreds upon hundreds. in all my backups. i can only remember one i could not do, & i think it was a bad original. i don't know what you have for software but this is what i use with great sucess. i think if i remember right i had process iceage through voblanker before i could run it through DVD Shrink. all the programs mentioned below are free, with the exception of AnyDVD. You can get a 21day free trial of this program. I highly suggest you spend the $39.00 for this as it is most valuable when backing up movies!!
I have the best luck ripping from disc to harddrive using DVD Decrypter, (with AnyDVD running in the back ground) Right click your red fox on the bottom right of your pc, & make sure it says "enabled". AnyDVD connot be used with dvdfab, it will tell you it must be shut down b4 continuing. DVD Decrypter is not updated anymore, but is still very valuable to use. imgburn is its new cousin made by the same dude. I haven't used it much because, why mess with success, decrypter rarley fails me. anyways, i then shrink the video using dvdshrink. with some of the new encyptions sometimes shrink will not work until you run it through voblanker. Once voblanker does its thing you are good to go with shrink once again. I use to then go back to decrypter to burn to disk. but somehow i when i installed my new burner which came with Nero software, now it automatically burns with Nero after shrink completes its process, which works great, so i left it. just make sure you have a blank disc ready in the burner after you ripped to hd. after completeing your back-up make sure yor delete the movie files out of your pc, as they take up an unbeleivable amount of space. using these methods i have nearly a 100% sucsess rate. hope this helps good luck!!
