16x8 duel dvdrw

[killercows]

i'v been fustrated with my micro advantage dvd for about 6 months now.. it write cd perfects, actually i can write 700MB in about 50 secconds. Then theres the evil dvd side; i cant turn on my DMA: and dvds' are read as cd with zero space and any buring program iv ever used had failed, me even at 1x speed. im running SP2 for win xp, i have a 3.6 GHz, 1 Gig RAM, and a 16x8 duel dvdrw. the DMA might not be the problem. The auto run with a dvd inserted brings up a blank cd with 0 space free. theres results to neros toolkit below hope that helps.
