Hi,
Win XP2 SP2 - no recent changes to OS.
I've been using a Samsung SH-S203 SATA Dual Layer DVD Writer to write
DVDs (Taiyo Yuden) with my 4 month old PC and never had any problems.
I've used ImgBurn exclusively as the burning software.
In the last few days I've tried to burn 3 DVDs with ImgBurn, instead of
writing at 8x it's been writing at 2x, even though 8x was set. Instead
of taking about 8 mins it takes about 30 mins. There's no change of
drive, speed settings, verify disk is off (as usual), and the disks I
use have not changed.
The only thing that may have caused this is that a few days ago I hit
eject for the DVD drive when the door to the PC case was closed (that's
a door that covers the whole front of the PC's case) - oops - through
the air-flow gap in the side of the door I saw the DVD drive come out
partially, hit the door, automatically retreat back, and then try again
- the same thing happening before I got the door open. I don't see why
this would now cause my slow burning problems; if a cable had come off
or loose surely that would cause an inability or read and write - rather
than just write slowly as is the case. Reading works as normal as far as
I can tell.
Anyone got any ideas what I should do to resolve this problem?
Thanks.
