HELP! WHY ISNT IT 52?!?!?

im using nero 5.5.10.15

by **dhc014** on Fri Feb 28, 2003 10:45 pm

Probably because it doesn't think that the media supports it. Try another kind!

Nope. Put some media in the drive that you know works at 52x. And no, I can't tell you what kind does.

Hehe, put a pressed, non-copy protected disk in there like an AOL Installation CD or something...

I'll install my new LG52x tonite & try some Fuji/TY, bet that 40x/48x media works OK @ 52x

You might want to get the latest version of InfoTool as well, so you can see all of the supported reading and writing speeds.

I tried an unbranded disc with new TY DX dye with this burner, still 48x max.

The ATIP is: 97:24:01.

Wrong... here's my results for LG52x24x52 ...

All TY Japanese made media ! Avrg/Max. writing :

24xFuji 36.93/48.54x

32xTDK 36.92/48.54x

48xMemorex 36.93/48.54x

48xFuji 36.92/48.53x

Lite-On 52x24x52 burned both 48x media @ 52x but did 32x media only @ 40x & 24 media only @ 16x :roll:

I believe RazOrX was referring to the maximum successful burn speed (no errors) with the Fuji/TY media in the LG GCE-8520B. He was not referring to a speed test.

by **Raz0rX** on Sat Mar 01, 2003 12:21 pm

And yes, I was "referring to the maximum successful burn speed" for the new TY discs.

I saw a Korean review on this drive (same model) but with firmware revision 1.03...

I have the same OEM drive and it works great! Reports 52X, Question? What are your system specs? This drive requires a minimum Pentium II 350mhz but 500mhz recommended! 128mb ram but 256mb in Win XP. Many drives will report slower max speeds on underpowered computers.

by **Raz0rX** on Sat Mar 01, 2003 1:06 pm

Advenger, are you saying the drive is allowing you to burn @ 52x max with TY discs? What is the firmware of your drive, 1.00 or newer?

I only have success 52x burning with one kind of disc that I have right now, Ritek.

My PC is AMD 1.2 with 768MB RAM, running XP.

No I have verion 1.0 of the firmware and Imation 48X disk burn at 48X but what I have seen in the past is someone buying a high speed cd burner and putting it in a slow computer, ingnoring the system requirments and then complaining about peformance! This dirve seems to be very picky about media! I would hope a firmware upgrade will help in the near furture.
