I have been a proud owner of Optorite DD0201 (aka Generic dd0201) as long as I was on WinXP. The going has been a lil' tough on Win2000 professional(servicepack - 4).

It was burning sonic DVD -R discs at 4X on WinXP like a charm after I updated the firmware and enabled DMA.

After I shifted to Win2000 Pro, its been burning only at 2X(same media).
I have updated Win2000 with service pack 4.
I update the firmware (version 2.60I)
I have enabled the DMA on both IDE channels. (Ultra DMA Mode)
- Hard disk on IDE 1
- DD0201(master) and a DVDROM(slave) on IDE 2
I updated the Motherboard drivers also. (intel 845GV , Dell2400)
I have tried both Nero 5 & 6.


still, its burning at 2x. even the "recorder details" on nero shows it as 2x.

Please help. thanks a tonne.
