Slowdown of DVD-writer

Kazuaki Shimazaki II · 01-30-08, 07:01 AM

In the past week or so, my DVD-writer has mysteriously undergone a slowdown. Before, it takes ~20 minutes to burn a full capacity (4.4GB) DVD. Now it takes over an hour. Same programs and all that. Judging from the drive's operation light and its acoustics, the DVD drive either refuses the go beyond low speed, or when it does, the burning takes place intermittently.

I already tried defragmentating my disk drive. What could be causing this problem. Help appreciated. Thank you.
