Assuming your drive is internal...that burst rate is a little low. Is your DMA enabled?

Make sure it's enabled, then try another burn.

derek_mitchell 2006-05-17 09:09:06 UTC #3

Yes it's an internal drive and the dma IS enabled it actually says ultra dma enabled.

Try a test burn with the new firmware.

What is your burner?

From the tests I'd assume a CD burner so maybe the burst rate is OK.

Hi
With TRT speeds of AVERAGE= 29.97x /START= 21.91x /END=29.93x :iagree:
If it is a DVDRW then I want one. :bigsmile:
Obviously it isn't. :disagree:
So burst rate is about right.DMA is enabled. :doh:
(Do I get the kippers now or later?)

Please attach the Nero CD-DVD Speed image here (save as PNG). I would assume there is a problem at the end of the disc (CD) since the Transfer Rate test started at 21.91x with average almost 30x (thus it should be a straight 40x/48x max) but at the end it slowed down to 29x.

[I can't seem to copy and paste my results

i hope this worked

derek_mitchell 2006-05-17 12:47:15 UTC #11

oh good! The read out is totally different every time??

Hi
As you probably know by looking around forum, should look like this. Try checking connections. Using device manager uninstall drive, then reboot so as tp let Windows find/reinstall drive.

Derek, I'm glad you followed my advice but 10 minutes between last post and bump is a little optimistic .

Give everyone a chance - I'm having my tea at the moment, for example... others maybe watching the Arsenal vs Barca .

Edit: OK, maybe someone isn't :D.

zevia 2006-05-17 13:16:11 UTC #15

@derek: please post Nero InfoTools log within
`
tags here. You should get burst rate over 21MB/s even for CDRW burner if it's in UDMA2.

zebadee 2006-05-17 13:36:11 UTC #16

Hi
Someone is watching & it's all going on now. :iagree:

imkidd57 2006-05-17 13:47:50 UTC #17

Hi Zebadee - multitasking as usual :D.

Shame for the Gunners, but congrats to Barca... :flower:

derek_mitchell 2006-05-17 13:48:41 UTC #18

zebadee 2006-05-17 13:53:06 UTC #19

Hi
OK so much for that. Can you now do as zevia suggests & post Nero InfoTool log?

imkidd57. Losing gaolkeeper so early on. :doh: Good game though. :iagree:
Arsenal :sad: Barca

imkidd57 2006-05-17 14:05:07 UTC #20
