well, it luks greek n latin 2 me, how do i change it to UDMA mode?

[azzu]

yup how do i change?

[ashnik]

first of all
In Nero, do u keep the option "cache files smaller than 64K" checked?
It shpuld be checked.
It prevents larger files copied to C drive ,or nero temp dir, b4 burning.
try this.

it basically automate d procedure dat i was askin u to do manually

ur drive was workin in PIO mode when it is capable of workin in UDMA mode
so all it did was to re-eanble UDMA mode without u havin to enter Device Manager
