Have you changed media recently?

Go here and get a trial copy of the diagnostic software..that may tell you something. http://www.arrowkey.com/download.shtml

Be sure your aspi drivers are up to date.

The latest ASPI layer and check tool can be had at Adaptec. http://www.adaptec.com
Do a search for ASPI, ( get aspi_471a2.exe and get aspichk.exe as well)

If you can write at 3x, there's something definetely very wrong there.

I've only seen 1x, 2x, 4x osv.

Yo Gyurza,

I would make sure the DMA is enabled on ide 2, via Device manager/ide/secondary/properties.

Did you change HDD, OS, or burner recently...
