For the life of me I can't get this drive to record CDR's faster than 16x. I've updated my firmware to the latest KHOP. The media I'm using is verbatim 24x. The funny thing is that I had a 48x liteon prior to this that would burn this media at 32x. I'm using Nero 6.3 and Windows XP (all current updates and aspi 4.6). I recently purchased a dvd burner that only burned cd's at 16x so I got the combo to give me faster cd burn speeds (or so I thought).
Below is my system:
DFI lanparty B
2500 XP Barton
1gb Buffalo PC3200
Radeon 9800 pro 128mb
Liteon 48161H combo (master on sec.ide)
Pioneer dvd 107d (slave on sec. ide)
Seagate 200gb hd (master) and Samsung 120gb hd (slave)
Windows XP w/ sp1 (and other other critical updates)
Antec Truepower 480
Lian Li pc65
dma enabled on all drives.
I might just give this drive away. My previous liteon burner (non-combo) had no problems whatsoever. I even tried the trial version of NTI cd maker to see if it was software problem. Still couldn't burn faster than 16x!!
What am I doing wrong? Should I try another combo like Sony or Samsung?
