Default DVD reading problem


i have a LITE ON DVD writer and about 7 days back, it was acting strange.......the reading speed was very low...

when i purchsed it (ie, NOV 07) it was working very well and the DVD writing speed was also good. but now it takes about 2 mins even to autorun the DIGIT DVD ( but my sys is not slow )...

And when i burnt movie from my other SONY DVD writer to a blank DVD, and that DVD was also cannot be copied to HDD using the LITE ON, it gives an error...

IDE cable and everything is fine...

i use lens cleaning cd but it didnt help...

ive set the NERO CD\DVD DRIVE SPEED to maximum and 48X, but nothing...

wat coud be the problem?? it was 3 months only.....

there is a warranty but couldnt replace it bcoz ive lost it.....

Arrow Re: DVD reading problem

1) Open notepad.

2) Copy the following code in it:

Code:
' Visual Basic Script program to reset the DMA status of all ATA drives

' Copyright © 2006 Hans-Georg Michna

' Version 2006-03-14

' Works in Windows XP, probably also in Windows 2000 and NT.
' Does no harm if Windows version is incompatible.

If MsgBox("This program will now reset the DMA status of all ATA drives with Windows drivers." _
  & vbNewline & "Windows will redetect the status after the next reboot, therefore this procedure" _
  & vbNewline & "should be harmless.", _
    vbOkCancel, "Program start message") _
  = vbOk Then

RegPath = "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\"
ValueName1 = "MasterIdDataChecksum"
ValueName2 = "SlaveIdDataChecksum"
ValueName3 = "ResetErrorCountersOnSuccess"
MessageText = "The following ATA channels have been reset:"
MessageTextLen0 = Len(MessageText)
SubsequentMisses = 0
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

For i = 0 to 999
  RegSubPath = Right("000" & i, 4) & "\"

  ' Master

  Err.Clear
  On Error Resume Next
  WshShell.RegRead RegPath & RegSubPath & ValueName1
  e1 = Err.Number
  Err.Clear
  On Error Goto 0
  If e1 = 0 Then
    On Error Resume Next
    WshShell.RegDelete RegPath & RegSubPath & ValueName1
    On Error Goto 0
    MessageText = MessageText & vbNewLine & "Master"
  End If

  ' Slave

  Err.Clear
  On Error Resume Next
  WshShell.RegRead RegPath & RegSubPath & ValueName2
  e2 = Err.Number
  On Error Goto 0
  If e2 = 0 Then
    On Error Resume Next
    WshShell.RegDelete RegPath & RegSubPath & ValueName2
    On Error Goto 0
    If e1 = 0 Then
      MessageText = MessageText & " and "
    Else
      MessageText = MessageText & vbNewLine
    End If
    MessageText = MessageText & "Slave"
  End If

  If e1 = 0 Or e2 = 0 Then
    On Error Resume Next
    WshShell.RegWrite RegPath & RegSubPath & ValueName3, 1, "REG_DWORD"
    On Error Goto 0
    ChannelName = "unnamed channel " & Left(RegSubPath, 4)
    On Error Resume Next
    ChannelName = WshShell.RegRead(RegPath & RegSubPath & "DriverDesc")
    On Error Goto 0
    MessageText = MessageText & " of " & ChannelName & ";"
    SubsequentMisses = 0
  Else
    SubsequentMisses = SubsequentMisses + 1
    If SubsequentMisses >= 32 Then Exit For ' Don't search unnecessarily long.
  End If
Next ' i

If Len(MessageText) <= MessageTextLen0 Then
  MessageText = "No resettable ATA channels with Windows drivers found. Nothing changed."
Else
  MessageText = MessageText & vbNewline _
    & "Please reboot now to reset and redetect the DMA status."
End If

MsgBox MessageText, vbOkOnly, "Program finished normally"

End If ' MsgBox(...) = vbOk

' End of Visual Basic Script program
3) Now save this file as "Resetdma.vbs" with the quotes and run the file.

4) It will ask you to reboot your computer. Reboot it.

That should solve your problem
