I just got this drive and hooked it up and it burns ok but slowly. When I check the nero drive info. it tells me thats its a CLV drive instead of a CAV drive. Because of this it runs at ~20x all over. Now sure this is OK in terms of speed, but its not what I want it to do. Any ideas how to get it to go CAV as it should? I already updated the firmware on the drive. The CPU usage seems high to me which would indicate a DMA problem. Any ideas if this is the problem and how to fix it?
