I've tryed many speeds and many programs(alchool 120, clone cd, nero, i even tryed windows media player and the internal windows recorder). Could this be the drivers or the firmware or do you guys supose my drive is broken?
There usually aren't any specific drivers for optical drives, just the Windows ATAPI driver. You can apply a firmware update if one is available, that won't hurt (but probably won't help either).
I'd suggest you also try the following:
- Change Windows power management to "Always On" (Control Panel, Power Options).
- Defragment your hard drive.
- Have you noticed a slowdown of the computer lately? If yes, it might be worth scanning for viruses and spyware.
- Try a couple different brands of media.
