I have TWO windows 2000 machines, an old p4 and a new amd 5600 with
sata. The problem is that the speed reading a dvd on the new machine
is about 3 times longer than the speed reading the same dvd (using the
SAME DVD READER) with the old p4 system. Both systems have dma if
available ticked, and the newer system has sata and the IDE DVD READER
ONLY (no other IDE Devices). The lights on the old machine are
flickering very fast, but, the lights on the new machine drag on. I
searched through control panel/hardware/devices on both systems and I
don't see ANY difference. If I connect an IDE harddrive to the new
machine, and transfer data between the sata and the IDE harddrive, the
speed is lighting fast.
What is causing this new machine to read from the DVD reader so
slowly? I am out of ideas.
I am using SP4 on both machines.
Help.
