Maddog burn speeds

[crainphoto]

Newbie here,

 

I have a 16x maddog (md-16x3dvd9-8x) that performed well in an older system (p4 3.0 2g pc-2700); averageing 6x to 10x burm speed with the 16x white printable media (Memorex?, no label now)

 

I know have the same drive installed in a new system (E6600 w/ 2g pc2-6400), using the same media I can now only get it to write between 0.8x and 1.0x. This is incredibley annoying :-(

 

IMG burn settings are set to max.

 

I have not tested the drive with other apps.

 

I flashed the drive to v1F3 and updated IMG burn to latest w/ no change.

 

Any suggestions?

Sounds like a DMA issue.

 

Read the FAQ and it'll tell you how to fix it.

 

Good luck

Thank You!

 

That was the problem, ultimatley had to change the drive position to get it to go into DMA mode; but it works fine now.

It seem the more I learn about computers the more there is to learn :-)

 

Appreciate the help and I'm sorry I missed the FAQ on the way in.
