***SLOW Burning with DVD Writer WHY?

[Amd]

Hello,
I have a Fujitsu-Siemens T-Bird computer with chipset SIS645DX, and I
have a problem and i don't know what can i do with this driver.
I bought a DVD recorder LG GSA-4040B and changed it three times
thinking was broken. My problem is ,with SIS 5513 IDE UDMA I can´t
burn in 4x mode at full speed. I tried to record in 4x mode with Nero
6.30,Alcohol,Record Max and others, and the screen say writing in 4x
but real time is 30 minutes when the good time is 15 minutes.
I burn with 4x disc Verbatim and Ricoh.
With nero the buffer level of recorder is up and down all the time,
and the real transfer rate is about 1.9x. If i record at 2x the buffer
is stable but if I record at 2,4x or more the buffer level begin to go
up and down.
With Windows XP SIS driver, burn at 4X in 15 minutes but is not very
stable with chipset 645dx,by example with Xp driver I can´t burn nero
Images or CDRWIN *.bin *.cue files.

I have formatted and reinstalled all my system,but the problem
continues
I tried with all versions of SIS 5513 drivers.

My system is:
FUJITSU-SIEMENS T-BIRD
MOTHER BOARD GA-8STXCFS
Pentium IV 2.54
BIOS Ver Award Software International, Inc. 6.00 PG, 08/12/2003
WINDOWS XP PROFESSIONAL SP1
HARD DISK 80GB MAXTOR 4D080K4 (Master) UDMA 5
HARD DISK 40GB Seagate (Slave) UDMA 5
DVD : HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8160B (Slave) UDMA 4
DVD Writer : HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-4040B (Master) UDMA 2
RADEON 9000 VIVO 64MB
512 MB DDR

Where is the problem?

Thanks.

Hi

For DVD rom or DVD R/W, the transfer rate should be DMA mode 5
Try use a 40 Pin 80 conductor shielded IDE cable for the DVD drives
Set the jumpers for both drives to cable select
Connect the DVD rom to master and DVD R/W to slave
In BIOS, set the secondary IDE channel to auto detect and enable DMA mode

Hope it helps

Pete

Thanks, I'll try that (cable select)
I have all ok, but With SIS 5513 burn at 4x speed in 30 minutes and
with Windows XP SIS driver, burn at 4X in 15 minutes

In others computer i see DVD R/W, the transfer rate in DMA mode 2 and
you say must be DMA mode 5. Why?

uninstall the sis drivers and it should work properly.
