Hi,
I have a Lite-On 40x drive (hacked from 32X thanks to cdfreaks), Win XP Pro, AMD 1500+ CPU, MSI nforce1 mobo, and WD 120 gig HD with 8meg cache running in DMA mode 5. When I burn an image from disk I get the message “can only write at 24x because speed of source data is too slow”. I found a couple other posts in the forum about this but no fixes. Surely my HD can transfer data faster than my burner can write!
