Burning Time Doubles

[dunlop]

Good Morning all...Recently( within the last week) my burning time with ImgBurn has doubled, and my verification time has quadrupled. Had this same problem last year,that time UK Lightning suggested I install process explorer>Find>type in cdrom>search. Kill any other processes that are running.

That turned out to be the answer...this time, can find no other applications running.

I am thinking my optical could be on it's last legs(1500+burns ).

Running WindowsXP

DMA mode is OK

Firmware updated

Thanks in advance for any input.

Your drive is in PIO mode. Follow the DMA post of the FAQ (removing contollers/etc) and it should go back to normal behaviour.

Thanks mmalves...have also gone down this path before and well do as suggested. Strange thing is, I did check my DMA status before copying my burn log and all "looked" the way it should.

Mmalves...just got home and did what you suggested. Uninstalled all 3 Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controllers.

Did a reboot and all is well.

Thanks again...it's great to have access to such a knowledgeable and friendly site.
