Need a bit of help as I'm stumped here...

I recently upgraded the HD in my laptop (80 to 320). I reinstalled Windows XP on this new HD, and proceded to install all my programs. This is where I run into problems.

When ever the computer is accessing the DVD drive (read or write) it slows to a grind... mouse stutters across the screen, audio/video skip and jump, even typing is slowed down.

I have burnt 2 Wii games so far on this install, and I can only burn at 0.8x. Yes, ZERO POINT EIGHT. Before I was able to speed along at 8x max.

Reading from the drive, DVD or CD gives me the same results...

What are my options here? Should I just reinstall Windows? Could it be the new HD that's affecting my DVD drive?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Wow... thanks alot man...

I would have never thought to check the DMA! I had to uninstall the secondary IDE controller to force it into DMA mode, but it works now...

I've been working with computers since the Apple ]['s, and would never have thought to check the DMA... just helps to have a forum!

    Can't believe he still has money to live in a mansion, or is still even making music. With him ratting bunch people to stay out of jail himself, surprised he still alive even.

    Pretty cool, my DAW (MPC 2,0) has whats called "Stem Separation". It will take any sample and split the sample into different tracks and filter sounds, example: Will separate to 4 tracks, 1 for bass, 1 for vocals, 1 for drums, 1 for rest. https://www.akaipro.com/stems.html
