| 291678 | 2004-11-14 05:28:00 | Hi Polo, Have a look at Nero's info tool and see whether DMA has been enabled on the new drive. |

| 291680 | 2004-11-14 06:38:00 | Probably a media problem. Nero will often dectect the maximum burn rate depending on the media and adjust acordingly despite what you want to burn at and the theoretical burn rate of the media. Or it could be the disk you are copying. Copying a cd full of jpgs or word docs takes a lot longer. You don't state whether you are doing an on the fly copy in which case if you are not, you may need to defrag your hardrive so it can cache and read more effeciently. If you are copying on the fly is your cd reader the bottleneck ? |

| 291684 | 2004-11-15 04:13:00 | Hi Polo You can find instructions here (support.microsoft.com) for enabling DMA on your CD-RW drive. Let us know if this works for you. :) |
