Re: CD Burning Speed
Having your CD drive running in PIO mode would definitely explain those slower burnning times... but then again don't expect to get too much faster burn times... the 40x or whatever specificaiton is mostly insignificant nowadays as the drives are spinning the disks so fast that any faster and the media itself starts to break apart.....
The procedure for turning on DMA is the same as I described earlier in the post (and written looking at the settings on an XP home laptop)... In my experience i can't recall any BIOS settings required for DMA mode... but then again I could be wrong...
even linux requires you set it in the OS and not through hardware toggles...
