Software, see if there's an update for newer drive support. |

Thanks, as usual, for your help Guys.
I got a copy of Nero 6, and I upgraded the Firmware for the drive. BINGO, it now reports a max speed of 52x. Cheers Nik. "Trent©" wrote in message ...

Address both. Get Nero...it has a speed checker. Also, visit Sony's site and see if there is any firmware update for that drive. Good luck. Have a nice week... Trent© Dyslexics of the world ...
