Hello,
I am new to this forum and would greatly appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone could offer, thank you.

I recently purchased a new SATA LITE-ON DVDRW drive, model: LH-20A1L. I installed the drive and immediately noticed an extremely slow read/write rate. It took me 1hr and 1 min to burn a 3.5G data DVD O_0 (it burned at .9x)
I am running a Compaq Presario SR175ONX, Windows XP Professional (Service Pack 2) with ASUSTek Amberine M 1.03 Mobo. The HDD is SATA and operates perfectly.
I also noticed that I have no "recording tab" on the DVDRW drives properties, I checked that DMA was enabled (both in windows and Bios) and it is. I also updated the drive firmware to the latest version "BL05". The drive came with no drivers, simply Nero 7 essentials (which I did install).
I have no experience with Sata and Sata controllers. Any help with this situation would be greatly appreciated, and if anymore info is needed, please do ask. Thank you.

Oops, this did turn out to be a DMA issue. I uninstalled the Secondary IDE channel, rebooted and then was able to put it into DMA.
Thanks again for the reply
