poor Optical drive performance

Hi all,

just wondering if anyone knows why both my optical drive have very very
poor tranfer peromance, it takes over an hour to transfer 1 dvd of info
to my hard drive (currently running at 634kb/s).

transfering between hard drives is fine, so i am fairly certain it is
the optical performance which is pants!

been through the bios looking for anything which may help, but nothing,
so i feel it is a problem within vista.

any ideas?

Is it running in DMA or PIO mode? Check the optical device properties in
device manager.
