Hi There
I own a Asus 48*16*48 cdrw and can not figure out why it does this, here is my problem.
I am running windows xp, and not having a prob at all with it. When I do a fresh install of xp my burner using clonecd will read a cd in about 2 minutes, and burn it back in around 2-3 minutes. As time goes on though, it seems to get slower and slower, at the moment it is reading at about 8* and burning bacvk at around 16*, I am using 40* tdk cds.
I though it might have been easy cd, alcohol or blind read/write, so i took them off my machine, and still it is no quicker at all, the only other thing on there is nero.
It works fine, goes safedisc2 fine and all, but i can not see why it slows done so much.
Also, does anybody no why lite-on dvd drives have such a problem reading safedisc2 games, it just seems to sit there and spin, stop, spin, stop etc and do nothing really.
any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
specs are:
msi motherboard
512 ddr ram
g4 4600 vid card
asus burner
acer burner
lite-on dvd
80 gig western digital h/d with 8 meg buffer
40 gig quantum
athlon 1900+
windows xp, not with service pack yet
