I have installed Vista Ultiamte and a new Hard disk and I trying to use only
windows Vista drivers. I can write files to the CD, however it takes 21
minutes (by vista's calculation and 24 minutes if watch the clock) to format
a CD-RW. Under XP Pro it used to take about 2 minutes to copy files to a new
CD.

Any suggestions on how to improve the time it takes or using other 3rd party
such as Nero?
Tom

have you checked under device manager to see if its running in DMA mode??
