DVD drive slow as molasses all of a sudden
So my new drive is slow all of a sudden on dvds. It's only reading and writing at about 1.6x.
I was trying to get something off of an archived dvd-r and it wouldn't read it. But my laptop would. So I thought maybe I need to flash the firmware. I downloaded it, double clicked on it, and the window came up telling me I already had that version so I canceled. Now it's slow as molasses for dvds. It burned a cd-rw at 10x which is the highest speed of that media and is normal.
Anyone know what might have happened and how I can fix it up? I guess I can tell it to actually flash the firmware and see if that works, but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas first.
