That's strange. I am running XP and I use Nero. I only have a 24x burner but it only takes it about 3 or 4 minutes to burn a cd. My only guess is that either Nero or your device drivers were optomized for XP and there is enough of a difference between XP and 2000 to effect it. Either that or 2000 is simply not giving Nero a high enough priority and is getting too few system resources. Maybe you should check into that.
