Hello-

I have a Dell Dimension 4600 2.6GHz 1.25GB RAM running Windows XP SP2 with
current updates. I installed a Plextor 716A DVD burner a couple of months
ago. It writes like a champ, but twice in the past month or so its Transfer
settings has spontaneously set itself to PIO from DMA if available. I go in
and reset it and it is fine, but I would really like to track down the
problem if I can.

Any and all suggestions would be gratefully welcomed.

Thanks,
DVS
 
There is some great info on the links you provided. I got my DMA mode back to
normal, bit I am still having strange troubles. I can write a movie dvd just
fine now, but it takes about 4 - 5 minutes just to write the Lead-in where it
used to take about 40 secs. After that it writes normally. I still have a bug
somewhere, but you have at least started me down the right path.

Thanks very much,
DVS
