Just a heads up if you are running XP. Sometimes if it detects too many errors the XP will revert back to PIO mode. I had this happen so many times with my old Plextor CDR/W.
Uninstalled & re-installed drive & IDE, worked fine for a coupla DVDs & then reverted back to PIO. I checke d& it's set for "DMA if available" (other option is "PIO only") but it's running in PIO.
Any idea how to fix this without having to repeatedly un- & re- install?
This is bugging me, I don't wanna replace the drive if nothing's wrong with it.
