Best is to use the source from two different hard disk when you burn to two burners at the same time.

i've tried this trick and no use please help?????

[LIGHTNING UK!]

2 physically different hdds to 2 different burners should not a be a problem.

 

Please post the burn logs from both burns you've attempted under those conditions.

 

I assume you aren't using adapters on any of the drives? (IDE/USB -> SATA etc)

 

When burning at full speed with just 1 drive, can I assume you've tried that with both of the drives? So either of them will burn at full speed when the other isn't also burning. If only 1 of them works at full speed then obviously the issue is with the other one
