DVD an CD slow reading and writing
I have a DVD writer and CD writer, which worked quite nicely for a while. But all of a sudden they are reading and writing at 0.30 to a max of (reading cd's) 2.6 speed.
Tried looking at aspi's and all that stuff, but nothing helped...so getting pretty desperate...
Did put some info gathered via Nero Infotool below.
