I bought a new, often recommended DVD burner LG GSA-4163B which officially burns DVDs at 8/16x speed and reads at 16x speed.

Now, when I try to copy (under Win2000) a couple of files (<10) from a previously burned DVD (+RW format)
through WindowsExplorer onto my harddisc it needs approx 35 minutes !!!

Can it be ?

I cannot believe it. Is there a wrong driver (Officially the Win2000 standard driver should be sufficient) ?
Currently the driver cdrom.inf is resonsible for this device. Isn't there a "dvd.inf" or something similar better suited?
From where do I get this driver (There was no additonal CD supplied with the hardware)

No other ressource consuming programs are running. The harddisc offers enough free space (>20 GB).
So what wrong?

Do I have to jumper the DVD in a special way?
Do I have to setup something in the BIOS?
Do I have to toggle a special Windows setting?
