Slow copy speeds after XPsp2 installation

redsquash · 07-02-2008, 08:50 AM

With XP SP 1........ I used to be able to copy a DVD at around 5 times speed ie 5X but now after upgrading to service pack 2, I am copying at 0.6 speed ie 0.6X
I had a similar problem with Xp ,but I fixed up the problem by installing XP SP1

SO it must be windows related.
Thats my perception, but I may have done something else and been unaware at the time as I was doing several things at once in different rooms.

My drivers are Japanese so I cant read anything and some are lost anyway

What software are you using to copy the DVD? Have you tried SP3?
