Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
 

Pleased your up and running again but what did you do that has 'fixed' the problem :confused: :confused:

You say <snip> adding and removing the secondary IDE channel seems to have done the trick. <snip> please explain to me for my future reference :tu:

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
 

i would assume it has been done in device manager , seems weird that doing this cured the problem , never mind if it works then so be it :D :D :D :D

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
 

I didn't know you could remove a whole channel :shrug: :D

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
 

Yeah, seems weird that it fixed the problem :erm:

Did you remove them from under the IDE ATA/ATAPI tab and then reboot and let the computer find them again?

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
 

just checked in device manager and it appears as though you can the same as any other device , i.e. a dvd player , i didnt do it in case windows didnt find it again :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd: :disturbd:

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
 

OK now i'm :confused: I looked but could not see where \ how to remove a whole channel, and even if you could, surely you would need to re-install all drivers for devieces on that channel ??

Just asking not argueing :Peace:


EDIT : All is clear now :D

Re: major lag cd and dvd burning
 

you got it in the end , sorry i could have been more specific in where it was in device manager :dozey: me :D :D :D :D
