CD-RW drive responds slow....

[trogdor]

Here's the deal...I've got a 52x24x52 CD-RW drive...

It's a pretty quick drive and I like it. However, it doesn't seem to cruise at its potential much. I'll put in a CD and when i click on my computer it will start to whirrr pretty fast, but then slow down.

I just copied a 300meg folder from a CDR and it took like 8 minutes because the thing was spinning much slower than it can. Is there anyway you can give your drive a kick in the ass to make it start moving?

make sure the cdrs you put in have the 52x speed compatability and what ever program you use should have a section somewhere where you can make the speed 52x or the maximum speed the cdr can handle....

oops...sorry I should have been more clear.

I meant when I was copying files from CD's to my desktop. The CD's are compatible with 52x...but I don't know if it goes that fast copying anyway... ?
