DVD burning with Ao3 slows down significantly...

[o0moowear0o]

Not sure what happened. I know it's a slow drive in general but it has never gone this slow. I'm not quite sure what happened or even the sequence of events that led up to it burning ridiculously slower. I've tried cold boots and turning off anything that might be running in the background, still no effect. I have about 8gb's left for temp storage so i dont know if that's enough or not. I'm running win xp. anyone have any ideas?

I recently had a bad pice of media and it caused a long lead-in time and subsequently it took like 8 inutes to get 3% done on a 3.5gb disk...Even at 1 speed I should have gotten entire disk done in 40minutes or so....Disk was ruined even though it was a dvd-rw...I could not erase it as it would lockup programs like nero with its constant spining up and trying to read the media.....I ejected it and closed nero...inserted new media and I was perfectly fine...Burned 5 since then successfully...

check if it is in PIO mode or UDMA mode under hardware properties as that could be a problem
