Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2003 10:45 pmProbably 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...
Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2003 11:14 pmI'll install my new LG52x tonite & try some Fuji/TY, bet that 40x/48x media works OK @ 52x

The ATIP is: 97:24:01.

Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2003 4:02 amI 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.
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2003 12:21 pmAnd 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...

Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2003 12:24 pmI 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.
Posted: Sat Mar 01, 2003 1:06 pmAdvenger, 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.

Max burning speed
Posted: Sun Mar 02, 2003 10:27 amNo 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.
