Welcome to the forum
Too bad DL media have a... "little" problem: all brands except Verbatim are crap. Moreover, if you use DL -R discs you risk to create a media that your standalone is not able to read at all, so you must use DL +R discs changing booktype in ROM to get the maximum compatibility.
My suggestion is to use only Verbatim DL +R discs, and if you want the best software I suggest ImgBurn (it's free and not bloated with a lot of useless features like Roxio or Nero).

Another thing you must check is your PSU. LG drives are rather picky with the power supply, and if your PSu is not enough stable the drive is not able to work correctly. Don't check only the total wattage of the PSU, but also its reliability. Usually the "el cheapo" PSU are not exactly a good choice, because are not able to supply enough power to the system even if are rated for a high wattage.
I hope that this can help

Check if DMA is enabled. Sometimes Windows reverts to PIO mode with no warning for the user and with no apparent reason


...happy burning!

Hi and Welcome!
this looks like a bad IDE cable.
Check, if it is properly connected and if it is not damaged. In doubt, replace it (you need an 80wired flat ribbon 18" (46cm)).

Hi all,
As the title said. I've GSA-H55N with a really slow reading speed. Current driver is 1.05 and my comp is win XP SP3 with 1.5G ddr.
Is there a way I can improve the reading speed on this drive?
Thank you in advance.
