copy protection or hardware problem?

[menno]

Hallo

I'm a newb here

Maybe a stupid question, but I don't no if the problems i'm having are because of copy protection or hardware problems.

When I,m trying to copy games like max payne, F1 2001, F1 racing championship, comanche 4 using the latest clone cd and cloney xxl or nero 5.5 the burning proces slows down extremely.
not even 1x so it wil take houres to burn.

I'm Having a lite-on 24-10-2b writer, asus 50x cd rom
amd 1600xp system

It doesn't matter if I:

Use the asus or lite on as reader
make an image or burn on the fly
enable or disable dma
use different media

can someone help me please?
