hey,
I allready put some questions in this forum about a problem which I have with my Lite-on burner (32125W).
I flashed this drive to 48x and used it without problems untill I upgraded my Nero with the buggy version 5.5.10.15 which crashed my system. At a certain point of which I am not sure it was caused by this software my system rebooted and my BIOS settings were put back into their default settings. I reinstalled the whole thing and since that time the burner is sloooooowwwwww.
I checked it out with CDspeed and compared it with my DVD drive.Here is the result of the DVD drive:

the drive uses 100% of my CPU (AMD 1800+), the graph of the tranfer rate goes up and down constantly
with an audio CD it plays normally.
I have the following system:
KR7A-raid, 256 MB DDR, Maxtor 80 gig Pri Master, Liton 32125W Pri Sl, Maxtor 80 gig Sec Master, Asus DVDROM sec Sl
Anybody has a clue what might cause this?? I allready reinstalled all the drivers, changed the settings of the drives, put them all on DMA, reflashed to48x, 40x, checked with windows XP etc etc etcâŚ
