DVD writer damn slow..I got IMATION dvd writer..

[roonie]

I got a Imation dvd writer..It is not even 1 year old...It was working good in my old com but after since i changed my com to new assembled one wit core 2 duo 2.2ghz 1gb ram and 965 mb i got problems..It worked perfectly after i fixed it in my new computer but after a week it got damn slow and for now writing a dvd it takes almost an hour..It used to take not even 10mins before..Both copying and burning takes the same time a lot..
Mine is Imation DVD writer i guess it is 18x..I checked it in nero info tool firware version is given as PSl1(i dont know wat is firware even though i checked)...And also i include whenever i burn something in the dvd writer or copy something from dvd my computer gets damn slow..mouse becomes shaky...dunoo y it is like tat even though i got 1gb ram ,core 2 duo

Please help me out Advance thanks

Check whether it's running in PIO mode or DMA (device manager ->ide/atapi controllers).
Change to DMA if in PIO.

If there is no effects after enabling the DMA, then your IDE cable is not compatible with UDMA 5.
