I've looked and no drivers exist for my dvd burner. The problem I have
is when I insert a disc it takes 30-45 seconds before it spins up and
shows me the contents of the disc or loads the program on the disc.

So, is their a way to make this thing respond more quickly?

I've tried NEC's website and google.

30-45 seconds is too long.

does this happen with all discs?

I think discs can only be run at at max speed, like 16x. (even if your
drive reads at 52x). Try with a disc that you know can be read at a
fast speed like 52x.

try it. if fails, consider taking the drive back. I wouldn't have
thought that a slow cd read speed should slow down "exploring" a disc
(just listing files and directories in the root directory of it) that
much

Beyond "Firmware" and making sure that is the latest (along with perhaps an
updated motherboard BIOS)..

Maybe changing what drive it is in the hardware scheme of things..
Like make it the first drive on the channel it is on (unless it shares it
with yout boot hard disk drive.)

Make sure the jumper settings on it are correct.

It's set as secondary master.
 
Have you resolved this problem yet. I seem to be having the same problem. The
drive starts fairly quickly if it is a data cd but if I am installing off of
a cd, it takes over a minute to spin up.
