    Your burner is probably stuck in PIO mode.

    Are you going to check to see if your burner was stuck in PIO mode or are you going to talk about your motherboard next?

    Click on the link I provided in my previous post and read the step by step instructions on how to check if your optical drive is in PIO mode. The instructions for XP are in the middle of that page.

  11. I do not think the problem is the HDD because I already used the Satools for DOS on it and no problem detected


    as I said before everything is set in DMA and automatic


    I realized that the buffer cache my HDD and my DVD recorder is 2MB, slow to burn and extract files on DVD may be because of that?


    when recording is stopped and after a while begins to burn and break this happens repeatedly until the desired recording that takes 2 hours to extract all the contents of the disc to the PC is 8 hours
