USB 2.0, Hi Speed USB FAQ
Try setting for a Slower Burn speed
You results might actually be faster
First try at 4x ... and then if all goes well move up to 8x ... then 12x
Most USB drives
- depending on the drive , enclosure chip-set used and your Computer config
- don't do well above 8x/12x
I'm sure that there are exceptions
.. but .... in most cases , that I've seen around the Forums
Trying to Burn much faster than 8x with an USB Drive
- will induce a Bad Burn ... if not Burn failure
Here's the Usual .....troubleshoots ...
Let's check something .....
Go to > Start > My Computer
> Right Click on DVD drive > Properties > Auto-Play tab
What do you have selected for the "Action to Perform" for
'DVD Movie" ?
This should be set as "
Take no action"
What do you have selected for the "Action to Perform" for
'Blank CD" ?
This should be set as "
Take no action"
Another way To test the 'Blank CD" AutoPlay handler
> exit All DVD/CD programs
> Insert a blank DVD/CD Media into your Drive
and let the Drive recognize the blank
Are you presented with a Prompt ?
- or Does a Program automatically open ?
If nothing happens - Good , that's what you want .
If you are Prompted to select a program
Select 'Take No Action"
Check 'always use this action'
Click OK
Tell me If a / which -Program automatically opens

Go to > Start > My Computer

Here in the DVD Drive 'Properties"

=
Disable DLA

Here's some Help - with maybe ... reducing your Computer's load ....
I'd recommend that you
Try using EnditALL while Copying/Burning
... to free up your resources
... You might be surprised at what's running - in the background
and /also -
Open
Advanced SystemCare Free > Utilities > Admin Tools > Start-Up Manager
( it's completely free and a very recommended clean-up program )
You will be presented with a listing of the Programs
- Programs that are designated to Start-Up with Windows
- and Descriptions of Each ( Click on Selection )
Any Start Up Entry - Referring to any DVD/CD Software ?
Windows Media Player (wmpnscfg) ?
ITunes ?
Musicmatch ?
If So = UN Check it
This only Disables the Program - from the List
- Designated to 'Start-Up' - with Windows
You would - still - be able to 'manually' start the Program(s) - when needed
Also ......
UN Check anything - Not Trustworthy
UN Check anything - Not Necessary or Not Preferred
( you may later click on an Start-Up item > Select Enable - If you prefer )
>> Apply
> Reboot
or -
You could also , Go into Msconfig - and Deselect unneeded Programs
- from your 'Start Up"
This will help a lot .....
Do I really need this on my PC?
How to use MSCONFIG ?
````````````
fwiw ....
An external enclosure with an eSATA connection
Is well worth the investment
You could probably easily add an eSATA card/ connection to your Laptop/ desktop
- relatively inexpensively
A eSATA connection can be just as fast as an Internal Drive
.... and mosts eSATA Enclosures additionally offer a USB option - as well
