I've tried with Nero Burning Rom, CloneCD, Alcohol 120%, BlindWrite Suite etc. but same read/write times.  Help !!!  |

| most given question: is your writer working in UDMA mode? it really helps to improve the performance. where are you reading from? you won't get the full reading speed if you're reading from CDRW or damaged cd's. are your programs and drivers up to date? i have no problem with the reading/writing speed of my asus crw5224a write a cd in 2.40 mins.

| configuration screen system hardware hardware list IDE ATA controllers primary/secondary (depends on where you connect your writer) right click on one of them select properties look if UDMA is enabled. if not check in your bios if you enabled UDMA for your drives try reading from an another source (no CDRW) asus reading speed is limited to 32 speed when reading CDRW's may be you should check your aspi layer as well dont know if it has something to do with your problems but you never know.

| Hello, what OS are u using? I have Windows 98 Second Edition english version. I 've enabled DMA for hard disks and it's a bit better... UDMA is also enabled. Still the maximum read speed of a CD-R is about 6 minutes (15) and write speed about 5 minutes (16). Also, in properties => performance => file system => cd-rom => optimize access pattern for: is No-read ahead and cannot be changed. I don't know what goes wrong  Is there a tool, or another way to find out what's going on? or can someone tell me exactly what settings to check on bios and the hardware configuration? PLEASE Thanks alot for your help! |
