Hello, Gateway just sent me this dvdrom (listed as a hl-dt-st dvdrom gdr8162b to replace a Lite ON 16x dvd rom that burned much better with protected dvd's. On commercial dvd's, I use to get 8x or so, now I am only getting 1.1x. DVD-R's read much faster (4x or so), along with orignal dvd's that I own without protections. Any Ideas? I have already checked the dma settings per previous posts.

Oh, does anyone know which company makes this drive. The old one was made by Lite On, it was much better (but I got this when it quit, it was under a GateWay warrenty, so I guess as long as it works I am stuck with it, unless I want to buy a new one on my own.)
