Under Win2000/WinXP I replaced an older but working DVD burner with DVD+RW writing speed 4x
by a newer DVD+RW burner with writing speed 8x.

However when I use the new DVD burner (LG GSA 4163B) with Nero burning software
I did not get a faster burning. The write speed and time is the same as with the old DVD burner.

It seems to me that either Nero software or Windows does not recognize the DVD replacement.

Do I really have to re-intall Nero again?

Is there a manual way of telling Windows "Hey OS, look, there is a new faster burner?"

Offically there is no separate driver (aside from the standard one in Windows) needed
for the new DVD burner. So it shouldn't be a driver problem.

Reading a DVD+RW is slow as well. I need approx 30 Minutes to read/copy a full DVD+RW to harddisc.

Is this normal ? Is there a way to speed up the reading?

Maybe I need to change something in the BIOS ???
