Hi, I have a NEC 4570 which burns dvd's very slowly so I followed the excellent advise in this thread http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/260038. and unfortunately I cannot still get it to work My NEC 4570 dvd rw is on the primary controller so I uninstalled the drivers as for Device 1 it stated "PIO only" and then rebooted system...I then check to see if it said DMA avaiable and it didnt so uninstalled the drivers for the actual CD/DVD drive in device manager... Rebooted the system on each occasion and then burnt a dvd which took forever. I also checked Nero Info Tool and noticed it says "DMA off" now I know it should be on as stated in the thread above....But it wont turn off despite having following the instructions in that thread down to the last word... I thought it may have something to do with the fact the NEC DVD RW is on primary controller and not seconday so wondered if I should swap the IDE cables around? Can mobo's really be that picky? What am I doing wrong? Please help? Thanks in advance... Cheers!!!
update: swapped IDE cables around so both hdds were on primary controller and NEC 4570 dvd rw was on secondary controller...it posted but did not proceed any further from the post screen.....hmmmm any ideas why? mobo is Abit UL8 skt 939.... Please help thanks
did you leave the 2nd hd as master when connected to primary cable as it should be jumpered as slave with the c:drive as master? what is the rom drive jumpered as?
