Out of the blue my CD Rom has decided that it's max speed is 8x. I noticed this when I was burning a CD-RW with Nero today on a Cendyne 32x burner. In the past I never had this problem, but today it's decided to slow down. I ran Nero "CD Speed" program to test it and that was what it said (actually 7.78x). I also noticed that what used to be a louder vibration coming from the CD Rom while spinning has quieted to non existent which also tells me it's not running as fast. Is this indicative of a problem with the hardware or is there somewhere or something that could have caused it to change it's max speed on the software side of the house? I'm running XP Pro, couldn't tell you the brand CD drive is, the burner is Cendyne. I originally had the CD drives both set to Ultra DMA mode which also worked fine, but today after this problem, I decided to switch them to PIO (read something somewhere), but that didn't change anything. Any ideas I should try? Thanks
