Sounds like the drive has burn-proof or just-link
and the drive burn light is blinking on and off a lot?
Last time my drive burn time went to 4 times as much,
it was because my busmaster drivers got damaged
and DMA was not functioning.  My motherboard uses
VIA chipset drivers for the EIDE channels.
It may not be your problem. Tread lightly fooling with your
busmaster drivers. Sometimes they are hard to repair.

> I just upgraded my system from a AMD K6-2 550MHz to an AMD Duron 1GHz using a SOYO K7VEMPRO M/B. I move the Creative 52X Cd and
the Lite On 16x10x40 CDRW from the old system into the new one. On the old system I could copy a CD in 4-5 minutes. On the new
system the same process takes 20 minutes. Any ideas on what might be wrong? The two Cds are on the secondary IDE bus with the CDRW
as master and the CD as slave (the same setup as the old system. Thanks!
