LEr me start off w/ the following info off the BAT

Nero 7 Ultra
NEC 3520A (updated firmware) and HL-DT GWA4164B (from a DELL PC)
Now the NEC worked FINE before burning w/ no problem @ 16X w/ the discs im about to explain


The NEC is my drive and all of sudden it didnt wanna burn @ 16x. Even tho in Nero it says 16X it took like 30 mins to burn so im guess this was like 2X or 1.5x!! I was using the Sony 16X discs which i have used before fine. So i took the DVD and burned the SONY on the Dell pc burned at 2X as well even tho it told me 16X. (using a sumthing other then Nero...i think roxio) So i put the DELL burner in my PC and used Nero to burn a DVD. burned at 2x AGAIN even tho AGAIN it says 16X. So i thoght it was the DVD cuz i never used the SOny 16X before...i used the Sony 8X which actully burned at 16X. So i took them back and got Memorex 16X cuz i know for a fact THESE DEFINALY burn at 16X. i popped in the memorex DVD and BAM...16X ....but REALLY burned @ 2X!!! No idea WTF is going on cuz the DVDs are buring slow as #$%@ using a DIF PC and a DIF burner AND a DIFF CD/DVD burnign program!! If ANY1 and i mean ANYONE can either give me SOME KIND of clue....i would GREATLY appreciate your info/time/efforts!! THANKS!

Read the guide, your drive should be in DMA mode.

You're one drive isn't in DMA mode as locoeng pointed out.
The 2nd drive on the primary is in the slooow PIO mode.
Uninstall this controller - reboot and let windows so it's thing.
Here's another guide to show you how to do it:
