Ok here is my question. I have 2 dvd burners. I have Pioneer PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-115D 1.18 (ATA) set as Master, and then i have the other SATA TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S203N SB01 (RAID). DOnt know why it says RAID, i do not have RAID set up. SO my question is, when i check for DMA, I go to my devices, IDE Controllers and the 1st one is (Target ID 0, device type ATAPICdrom, Ultra DMA Mode 4, but the 2nd controller has nothing. Is this correct or is there something wrong? Just checking. Thanks all.

different burners use different burn methods and speeds change over the course of a burn. time differences are not related to ide/sata controllers.

I have it set in the BIOS as SATA on, not RAID on. I figured it's a SATA burner i need to set as SATA, or am I mistaken. And also I have NVIDIA chipset controller. I see that in Windows Update I have downloaded but not installed the NVIDIA updates, but since it said optional, i did not do it. Perhaps I need to do.

If you drives are working fine, and the only problem you have is that two drives rated at the same burn speed, take respectively 8 mins and 10 mins to burn DVd's then I wouldnt worry about it...diff burner mfrs use different write strategy's for different media.. also whether the drive uses CLv and CAV or just CAV and partial CLv. What chipset are you using. Samsung burners work great, and with Nvidia chipsets( at least in IDE) personal experience! Use nero driveinfo to get all the info you need.

My HD is not set to RAID. So it must be the drivers. Question is, how can i determine which drivers i need. Can you tell me in easy steps how to do that. Thanks

I chatted online with Dell. Since I have a Dell XPS600 system, all the drivers were from them. But I bought my PC with Windows XP 64, Now I have Vista 64. When I spoke the Dell techician, he was kind enough to tell me that for my system, that he doesnt see any Vista 64 updates thru dell for my controller. But in Windows Update folder downloaded already I have NVIDIA updates. I'm afraid to use them since they might affect my PC, unless anyone knows that it might be safe. Is there a way to update my controller drivers directly thru NVIDIA. The Dell technician said that there system does not show which Motherboard I have. I now it's an SLI board, but i dont have the model #.

You can choose OPTION 2 automatically find drivers for my NVIDIA products. Then download it and install it.
