TS-H552B giving me problems?

dazila

I installed this drive last year in May and has worked great very reliable till last saturday night I was making an ISO in DVD decryptor and the buffer just went to 99% and read speed fell to 1.7X from the ussual 8X and went up to 3x then back and forth 1.7-3 then I tried burning the iso and the buffer strated to drop then the device buffer just keept gogin forth and back from 6%-99% every second and the burn slows then goes faster When I pick 4x I get around 2x burn it starts at 4 and then slows down and never goes to it again.My computer that this drive is one is
A Intel D815EFV mainboard With Ultra DMA/100
512mb PC133
933mhz P3 copermine iwth high speed L2

The specs arent the problem because last month I burn a DVD @ 12x and it burnt stabily at 12x but now im lucky to reach 3x
Also My mainboard does the DMA automatically so if the device supports it it turns it on In nero it says that DMA is on for this drive so I tried setting it manually in the bios from Auto setting it still burns slow so its not the DMA its something else.

Perhaps its the DMA anyway.

Delete the ide channels under ide atapi controllers in devicemanager and reboot.

ok i will uninstal my second ide controler its the one the drive is on but I doubt its the DMA because I did a speed test in Nero on a DVD and the drive started at 9x and kept rising and kept steady at 16.51x which is the max but when im trying to make an Iso the Buffer just drops like never before but in the test it was reading it very smooth it also copies files fast via Windows Explorer just copy and paaste of DVD to hardrive it takes about 8min for a 4.2gb disc which is pretty fast its just that when im burning and Makings iso's the buffer just screws.
