Hi karanoshan, Welcome to TSF!

What CD/DVD burning program are you using?
When the CD/DVD is 'reading and writing', what type of media is in the player?
Does this issue occur with all types of CD/DVD's, or is it only to do with, say, movies, music, or data?
Please give us the Make/Model of the CD/DVD Read/Writer.

Please post back with this information.

Kind Regards,

Hi karanoshan,

Please answer the questions I posted in #2.

We need to know what Burning Program you are using and what you are burning.

@ dai = My apologies Sir, You are quite correct....a sudden memory lapse.

@ karanoshan,

Right click the My Computer Desktop Icon > Properties > Hardware > Device Manager > View > Show hidden devices > IDE ATA/APATI Controllers > Right click > Properties > Advanced > check that DMA is enabled.

Manually Setting DMA
go to the reg. key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001 or 0002 (depending on beeing primary[0001] or secondary[0002] ide channel)

there you modify the DWORD value of :
if the drive is on master: "MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed" or
if the drive is on slave: "SlaveDeviceTimingModeAllowed"
to ffffffff

then go back to your device manager set your drive in IDE channel properties first back to pio and then, after confirming, again to dma ...that should do the trick[/b]

back up the registry before you start
