Default Re: CD Burning Speed

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.

Are you sure its not the disk's limit you're seeing?
The CD-Rs are 48x. They burnt in about 2.5 minutes before I installed Windows 2000.

Also, you may just have to reset the default speed settings in the software back up to 48x...
It says 48x in the burn speed before I start burning the CD.

Perhaps yu need to raise the max burning speed - or perhaps some issues with the upgraded windows are the order of the day - you could try gettign a hold of the latest Version of nero.

Of course, on the lighter side, that might make one check mark for the XP you hate so much. (actually, considering your stance on XP and W2K, surprised you even had it at all)

I upgraded Nero to the latest Version, and flashed the firmware of the CD drive (Khypermedia 48x/24x/48x) to the latest Version. No change.
