Issue with DVD writer

[marine1]

Why would it read at such a low speed in DVD decrypter?
My notebook is faster.
Using a brand new LG dvd Writer.
Also having a lot of errors trying to read.


Thanks

Is DMA enabled? My LG drive I tried kept being set to slowest speed by Windows - had to re-enable DMA.

Is it one particular movie or is it slow with a range of movies? If it's one movie then it's probably not having luck cracking the decryption ........ you get a few that can't be cracked.

Hmm how in Windows 7? It does not have that tab there?

Did the writer come with a driver disc - if so, try that for W7. Also check in your BIOS that it's auto-detected properly. Is it ATA or SATA?

SATA

+1 That's how I got mine to work properly.

Yup. It's SATA II
I'm typing this from memory..
When you're installing your Nvidia IDE drivers, there is an option to install some extra feature <The name slips my mind>, that shouldn't be installed. Also, there is no difference between Nvidia and Windows IDE drivers.

Nihilist helped me sort it out.

I know that I'm ranting on about IDE drivers on a SATA issue. But as strange as it sounds, sorting that out solved my SATA Writer's problem.

Edit: SW IDE drivers don't install
