In my current PC I have a Sony DVD-RW drive which up until now has been great, I just went to burn some software onto a disk and have noticed it only ever burns at 1x Speed. This is supposed to be a 16x writing drive and obviously its taking an age to burn anything at all, Windows refuses to recognise it can actually write to DVD..
This is troubling me guys since I do a lot of back ups and such on DVD's Any help is greatly appreciated! |

Assuming this is XP and an IDE Drive (not SATA) :
__________________
Go to Device Manager/IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, expand the item ... right click the channel, where the drive is fitted and select "Uninstall" .... confirm your choice and then reboot the PC. Windows will automatically reinstall the IDE Controller and any drive(s) on that channel. If it's the well known XP glitch with DMA settings reverting to PIO Mode, this will correct it. My System: Home Build
