Re: Copying 4,3 GB from DVD to harddisc needs 35 minutes ??

I transferred 6 686MB files from my 4163B in about 7 minutes total. The DVD
was a -R not a +R although I wouldn't think this would make a difference but
I can't say for sure. I am running XP on a P4 3.0Ghz, 512MB RAM PC.

The drive should be running in DMA mode which you can verify by looking at
the properties of the IDE controller it is connected to. Note that putting
some CD drives on the same channel can cause the channel to only operate in
PIO mode. Even if the properties say DMA enabled try running with only your
4163 on the channel.

Is your media good? Excessive retries to get good info will stretch the time
but your case sounds rather severe.
