Hi,

I was trying to test my DVD read speed and the fastest I could see (via smarripper and dvd decrypter) was about 4x eventhough the HP300i can support up to 8x (supposedly). I tried Nero CD speed utility and it also reported about 4x for the DVD. I check my IDE controller and it setup for UDMA. I run windows 2000.

Is there anyother options/switches I need to do to get the 8x read....

Thanks for any help!!!
