burning CD-R with 3-4 times longer [burning cd] [full cd]
Q: I have an Iomega 16×10x40 and used to complete discs in like 7 minutes, but now its just like 20-30 min to complete just one CD. I tried to defragment my system (P4 1.6, 80 gig Deskstar, 512ram), but the fires still slow.
Is my hard drive going bad? There are no readily available utils I can test with? Or is my system needs a delete and reinstall? It is about nine months ago that I built, so there might be a crap bogging it down to. (I try the kids and wife to keep installing software on it but am not totally successful)
Im not appear to have any software to reinstall, but will do it if it means I can burn CDs like I used for each to.
Thanks info

Re:Also, do you have another HDD or CD-ROM? If so swap them around, i.e. Take out the CD-RW, put in the -ROM or HDD, for grins see if you can get DMA enabled on that.
I don't know if the CD-RW would have any affect on the controller card drivers…. what I'm also thinking is the CD-RW might be going bad or if they have a controller card built in it (like HDD's do), might be going bad….?????

Re:In Device Manager uninstall the controller for that CD-RW, let Windows redetect and reinstall the drivers for the controller.
Hope this helps.

Re:Well..went looking in the event viewer and found all these:
The device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block.,
An error was detected on device \Device\CdRom0 during a paging operation.,
and my personal favorite:
The driver detected a controller error on \Device\CdRom1.
So, do i send my motherboard back to the manufacturer for replacement or what course of action do I have? Would reinstalling the system fix this? I don't think so since this seems hardware related.
Thanks for all yalls help.

Re:I switched the secondary ide controller in my device manager to dma if available, the only option for dma, but when I rebooted the computer it says the current transfer mode is PIO still. Am I doing something wrong? My burns are still taking 3-4 times longer than they should.
Thanks,

Re:Definitely set it to DMA. You may have to reboot afterwards.

Re:The secondary ide controller dma is not enabled. It is optioned for PIO. Should i switch it to dma?

Re:Is DMA enabled in the Device Manager for the burner? It might of have flipped over to "off" some where along the way.

Re:One of the things I think it could be is the hard drive might be going bad. I put it thru the ringer so it might just be starting to fail on me. Is there some sort of utility that can check that?
Thanks

Re:One other thing you can try is flash your burner. The mfr. may have an update that can fix the problem. Also I wouldnt format just yet, try some different media so you can start eliminating possible causes.
Re:Didn't think about the cd-r speed but I am using Imation 16x cd's. My burn speed is set to max and as for the buffer..I do not have a graph that i know of. I use cdrwin. I will look at what is running in the task manager to see if there is any big memory hogs.
This only started a few months ago so I am leaning towards having to reinstall the system. Just hate to do all that and it not fix the slow burns.
Thanks

Re:Don't take this the wrong way, but are you sure that the media you are using is rated at 16x or higher? It is quite possible you picked up soem cheap media that was only rated at 8x or something similar. If this is not the case, what does your buffer look like while burning, is it constantly full or does it remain pretty low? If the buffer remains high, make sure your cd recording software is set to use the MAX speed of the burner. If your buffer stays kind of low you may need to think about closing other programs that are open and stealing memory.
Good luck
