5 - 10 seconds is probably about average.

 

Your drive must be a million years old now - notice how it only supports 1x and 2x on the discs you're using.

 

It's probably about time you invested in a new one that works properly with todays media.

Thanks for the fast reply.

 

Is, there anything else I can do? maybe another software that will support older computers.

I don't have the cash to get a new one.

Based on the name of the drive it leads to this http://www.iomagic.com/Firmware/FirmwareDownload.html

 

You can try to update the firmware "DD0203-230-win.zip" it's the last from the second table.

 

What you also can do is try to find 2x-4x rated media, maybe it will do a better job on that.

 

A lens cleaning disc may also help.

 

I certainly recommend a new burner though.
