My DVD drive has become too slow recently.. it takes lots of time to read and write data. For ex., it takes around 3 hrs. to write a DVD. Whenever data is being read/written to a DVD [or even a CD.. or anything in that drive].. the whole system becomes sluggish to the point that even the cursor doesn't move freely. I cannot watch movies on DVD due to this. Also, installations from optical media don't complete or take forever.
Earlier I thought it was a software issue, coz I reinstalled XP once and the problem was over. It resurfaced again.. but this time even a reinstall is not helping.
I have set DMA on for all the Primary/Secondary IDE channels. I have tried reinstalling the firmware for my drives, but the problem persists.
thanks
