My write speed was fast, but now it has suddenly slowed down considerably. What is wrong?
When users upgrade their DVD burner firmwares, some updates will turn off the DMA setting and not put it back on. To do so, go to your Windows Control Panel and double-click on ‘System’. Click on the ‘Hardware’ tab, then, click on the ‘Device Manager’ button. Expand the ‘IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers’ section and double-click on ‘Secondary IDE channel’. Click on the ‘Advanced settings’ tab. The ‘Device 0’ and ‘Device 1’ (depending on how many DVD devices) should be set to “DMA if available”.
