CD-RW's Drive Problems.

[Robert Meyer]

There is a setting somewhere in the IDE hardware information that turns on DMA.
 If you don't have that on, you get just what you're getting now.  I don't know
for sure where the setting is, but you can probably find it if you poke around
enough.  Sorry, I'm not a Windoze affectionado.

Cheers!
