i'm gonna smash my pooter
i've been having some weird problems lately
latest one is horrible burning speeds - the first disc will burn fine, but any after it only burn at 4x
when i restart the system another will burn at full speed then next 1 will be 4x..
aaaaand
i'm currently watching an xvid and there is a ****load of activity coming from my HD, i pause it, and it stops. could there be something wrong along the way of buffers ? what would be the best tool to test my burner or HD ?
burner is SATA, same as HDs
all channels are on DMA mode 5
burner is a Samsung/TSSTCorp CDDVDW SH-S203B
o and another 1..when i take a disc out after a burn i get like a 10s system lock up, same for when i put a new disc in..i've had this before with other systems when putting a disc in, but not for that long and never seen it when ejecting a disc
