Only 40x Burn Speed?

[Shamrock]

I just tried burning something with my Rosewill DVD/CD burner. The speeds are 52x32x52x16. Now when I went to burn the file, the maximum burn speed only showed up as 40x. I have 48x speed cds which would allow me to burn at 48x but it did not. Can someone help me with this problem I am having?

I tried updating the firmware and that did nothing. Do you think it is a program specific problem? I am using Ahead Nero version 5.5.10.44. Can someone help me because this is frustrating not being able to use my maximum burn speed. Thank you.

I am guessing you don't speak english?

Read the manual that came with it. My CDRW has a button to boost it up to 52x burn speed when burning

so u are saying u have never had a typo

 

[Shamrock]

Nope. I am a picture perfect typer. I never type anything wrong, but that is besides the point.

It did not come with a manual. I checked the makers website and nothing. I even installed Roxio 7 and it still showed 40x. Is there something I could change in the bios or what?

Help??

i read somewhere (pcpowerplay) that running it at a slower speed increases the stability of the burn. I always run mine at slightly lower than normal.

if u are using nero, there is a dialog box that allows u to change the speed of the burn. i'm not sure about other software...

Your first post made absolutely 0 sense.

Just had to throw that in -_-

he has a point about burning at lower speeds

 

[Shamrock]

Well, I still would like to be able to burn at 48 and at 52. 48 is a lower speed so it should still be as stable as if I am burning at 40 just it is slower. I really want to be able to burn higher. Please help.

Knock this up, b.

Erm, Just check that your burner uses the 80-wire udma cable instead of the old-style 40 wire (count the wires in the ribbon).
Burners need 80 wire cables to be able to support burning at high speed. If you already have one then it's a software thing.

Does it really matter anyway? The difference between 48 and 52 is marginal. Anyone that isn't burning 500 CDs a day wouldnt notice the difference.

how can u get 80 wire cables when there are only 40 pins? or am i missing something.
i only burn at about 40x or 48x. mines a sony 52x48x52x. just to be on the safe side u know.
