How much ram do you have? Wht speed cpu?

nah. prob solved. the hard drive was stuck in PIO mode. unistalled the primary IDE channel. rebooted. it clicked into DMA mode and bobs ur unlce. full speed ahead!

Maybe your RAM goes bad... but then other program would run slow too... or Harddrive going bad... or mother board(IDE)....

Try running other program that also use the drive...like watching DVD movie.... music...(large) files transfer.. or try to burn something to a cd/dvd like Mp3 wiht other program..

if they all work fine then .. may be reinstall the program..

or install your drive to another computer.. and see how it does work

or /format c: /q ... and reinstall windows (hope u don't have to go that far)

Ohh.. another thing what game did you try to backup? have u try to backup other old game that you have done w/o any problem before? and see if u still can do it?

BTW that is RNM ? is it good? Where can i get it?


Hope some of these ideas help..

LOL too late ...took me too long to write.. the reply ...anyway iI was close.. about the IDE thing

Glad you got it sorted, Happy burning.

Thanks. Merry Christmas to all of u. :D

right this is what i would do
disable firewall anti virus

scan disk for errors

defrag

and burn

if not buy some more ram that would help if not

format the hard drive format C: then press y and reinstall ur os
