ggrussell Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Got me stumped. Sounds like everything is setup correctly. Prehaps there's still someone else out there with more suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbrewst Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 You're sure that the controller you have that drive on is set to "DMA if applicable"?And is it using DMA mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggrussell Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Right click on MY COMPUTER and select MANAGE In the left panel, click on Device Manager Your devices will show in the right hand panel. Click on the + beside IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Right click on the secondary IDE channel (or the one that the burner is connected) and select PROPERTIES Click on the ADVANCED SETTINGS TAB Device 0 is the master Device 1 is the slave My burner says Ultra DMA mode 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvador1726 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 The Burner is set on DMA if available : Device0 "DMA If Available => Ultra DMA Mode 2" ( TDK Burner ) Device1 "PIO Only => PIO Mode" ( Other Device ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrussell Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Out of curiousity, do you have any other brand of blank CD to try? You don't have to burn it. Just launch Disc Copier and see if there are more speeds available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbrewst Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Unfortunately I'm stumped also.I was hoping one of these things would have fixed it.If I run across something I'll keep you in mind though.Like Gary says maybe someone else will come up with something.I can't recreate it,I have 3 drives and all three have all the speeds.

cdanteek Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well Then , THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !! " i've also tried Nero and CloneCD and have any problem with them " If you have these other burning programs avaliable and you can adjust the burn speeds in them. My question would be why don't you use them to burn the vcd at a lower speed? cdanteek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In System Configuration Utility, start, run, type msconfig. If your set to normal startup. Emc8, Nero, and Clonecd could all have app's running trying to control the drive. Since you said the drive speed adjustment works in the other two, a software conflict would be a guess. Two choices remove Nero and CloneCD since you want to use EMC8. Or end anything Nero and CloneCD in task manager and see if it works then. I run selective startup in System Configuration Utility but have monitored it since I built the system. I check it after every program install, uncheck the default app's it puts there ( they all do ). Some programs still run in task manager after there closed out, I reboot to use the other program. cdanteek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrewst Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 If it is software my guess would be Nero as I have CloneCD running on 2 machines with Roxio on them and don't have a problem with either one.Just be careful if you end up running Roxizap because there's a good chance you'll loose your drives in CloneCD if you do.

darkvador1726 Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Unnistalled all of them , reinstalled only Roxio , Tried it on 2.02 firmware , then patched the Engine , tried again , tried on 2.04 firmware , But still stuck on the max Speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvador1726 Posted February 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 i've tried the Explorer thing , on the Properties the Speed is set on 8x , but on the classic creator it's again on 52X ! well , the Speed is not underlined ( is on a comboBox ) and when i click on it , a list appear with only one option "52X" ( or the maximum speed available ). and when i change the burner by clicking on the Polaroid one , and deselecting TDK , i get all the speeds available . and also when using the "Disc and Device Utilities" , under the Drive Information it says "Current Disk Write Speed 52X" , and under "Supported Read Speed : 48X , 40X , ... " ! still stuck on the maximum speed ... Thanks for your Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrewst Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 V8 gets it's info from the drive itself.This is provided by the firmware.So the first thing to do is make sure you have the latest version of firmware on that drive.I have the external version of that drive and it works ok. By the way I deleted your post under the data heading.Please just post to one area.It's easier to help that way.Let us know what happens if you update that firmware.

Brendon Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Darkvador, Have you inserted your blank disc and allowed time for the drive to spin up and read it? My machine shows max CD speed only until the disc has been recognized, and after that it will let me set the speed normally. If I have inserted a DVD the burn speed indicator will change from CD speeds to the DVD speed as soon as the disc has been recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
