My Laptop's DVD Drive has gone slow. It is slow when copying files from DVD to HDD or when playing movies etc sometimes it lags a lot playing most DVDs. When i tried checking my speed using Nero Disc Speed tool i was only getting a max speed of 1.2x. What the hell has happened it was fine some weeks ago and was pretty fast, I copied a lot of DVD's and all had average speed of 6 MB/sec with peak to more than 7 mb/sec.
Please can anybody help me to know if there is anything wrong with my drive. The Laptop is brand new HP DV6700 Pavilion Notebook and it has a TSST corp DVD rom. I purchased it a month and half ago. I don't know what happened to the DVD Rom. I remember that i was copying alot of DVDs on that particular day and suddenly while copying a DVD this happened that the copying became slow.
Any help will be greatly appreciated please guys so help me in this problem. Is it hardware problem or software problem. i was thinking that maybe it is software problem because when copying DVDs the PC comes to a crawl like it is using lots of resource and i can't run shit e.g even if i run some video it plays choppy and lags even though i have a 2 GHZ Core 2 Duo with 2 GB RAM. My Laptop came with Windows Vista Home Premium installed but i installed XP on it for gaming etc. I think it may be XP Problem cuz it happened after i installed XP and on the 3rd day of it. Vista never had any problem for more than 2 weeks of usage.
P.S my english is not that much perfect so i am sure i may have made lots of mistakes,
