Quick question for anybody that can help.
I have a Dell 4550 (p4 @ 2.4, 1GB DDR, Western Dig 120GB 8mb cache HD
and NEC ND-3500A DVD burner (16x DVD burner).
I purchased some FujiFilm 8x DVD-R media and am trying to simulate an 8x
burn to this media with Roxio Easy Media Creator and Nero (both newest
versions) and cannot get any performance over 4x with this drive and media.
I have chatted with several members of www.cdfreaks.com and they
indicate no problems burning 8x to this media with this NEC burner. So,
I am down to trying to troubleshoot any hardware problems that might be
causing this problem.
Things I have tried.
Set drives to master and slave instead of Cable Select
Changed IDE cable
Tried Nero as well as Roxio
Made sure Ultra DMA2 is selected.
Tried a different physical Fuji disk.
Things I have thought about
upgrading BIOS from A05 to A08 (hesitate cause I have read about
firewire card problems and I run a firewire card in this pc).
My machine is running Windows XP with all latest hotfixes (with
exception of SP2.....still waiting on that one).
Any ideas?
