NEC 7800A NR 16X NOT!

[asopalav]

I got this drive with the Dell PC 8200.
I cant burn anything faster than 8x.
What gives? Is there a firmware upgrade for this
drive?
I have tried EasyCD 5.0 Basic and Nero 5.5.5.1 or whatever the latest version is, I am running XP.
Although I havent replaced the brand of media I am burning on I cant see what the problem is?
Thanks for any help or suggestions.

if your sticking with Nero, try downloading there latest config file (cdrom.cfg) from the web site, that may solve your problems.

Good Luck

Note: Roxio posted an XP update for v5.0x on 11/4/2001. Go to <a href="http://www.roxio.com" target="_blank">www.roxio.com</a> to download it.

Thanks people, I found out it was the d***
media, I was using a Memorex CDR rated at 16x
and when I switched to a Verbatim, I got the
speed I wanted, bizarre but true.
