NEC DVD RW spins up during DVDs

Post by autoboy » Tue Apr 18, 2006 8:32 pm

I picked up a NEC (3550A i think) DVD RW drive and i'm using it to play DVDs with SAGE TV. It is usually quite quiet but during some DVDs it has the tendancy to spin up. I am running windows 2000 and DMA is enabled. What would cause it to spin up and how can i fix it?

Use "DriveSpeed" from Nero. It's free and very easy to use.

I am using it with my BenQ 1655.

Bringing up an old topic but my drivespeed settings never stay. Everytime I reboot the settings are changed back to default. Is there any way to fix this?
