Guest xp-pro Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Windows xp Pro (SP-3 and all updates applied) Dell Inspiron B130 Celeron 1.5 GHz w/ Samsung SN-S082D CD/DVD-RW Nero 7 How can I reset xp to use DMA for the drive? Previously, Nero burned at the true rate (8x) now, even though Nero says it will use 8x it is actually 1.2x Obviously, 53-minutes to burn a data or video DVD is crap. IDE controller Advanced Tab...... Device 0 says Ultra DMA Mode 5 Device 1 says DMA * if available* (current mode - PIO Mode) Thanks
Guest xp-pro Posted August 23, 2008 Posted August 23, 2008 Re: DMA for laptop CD/DVD-RW One thing that seems odd. The location shown for the DVD-RW in device manager is "Location 1 (1)" Does the second (1) show some redundancy or irregularity? Thanks
