they are 8x discs, i can burn at 8x with the same discs and burner in windows with nero
I believe DMA is already enabled:
Code:
monster hedpe # hdparm /dev/dvd
/dev/dvd:
IO_support = 1 (32-bit)
unmaskirq = 0 (off)
using_dma = 1 (on)
keepsettings = 0 (off)
readonly = 0 (off)
readahead = 256 (on)
HDIO_GETGEO failed: Invalid argument
maybe the problem lies in growisofs sinec k3b just calls that?
