hi,
i'm not sure you continue replying to those questions once you did for magazine computer tomorrow. but if you reply my mail with any sort of suggestions then it would be really helpful for me.

problem 1: my dvd burn time (in 4x, 8x, 16x) took much time than past; about 3 or 5 minutes more. is there any way to bury this time demon ??

problem 2: i feel my hard disk slowed. as i observed it took more time in copying than it did in the past. have i have to format the whole partitions or is there any way different.

sorry to load these questions on you. but i hope i hear some hopeful reply from you.

thank you

Well, yes I still answer questions asked to me... I have some plans for it to continue more... I'll need your helps and suggestions regarding this... Plz visit www.doctortomorrow.com & http://doc2morrow.blogspot.com & www.doctortomorrow.com/forum have your say...

There's also another option users can have look for that on www.doctortomorrow.com/talkdirect.htm 

Now, ans to your probs:

1. You didn't mention how old the DVD writer has become. We are now in the era of one-timers and those DVD-writers or Combo writers now-a-days dont last long. Aging slows it down and tends to become useless. You can at best take good cares as directed at your DVD writers manual. Like, cleaning the lenses, Not using the highest speed to write. Not using CDs, DVDs which have scratches. Try not to use the writer as reader etc... Well, if you leave the drive unused it will go useless also. So, extra caring will help to keep it alive more days.

2. You can speed up harddisk by doing a defragmentation when lots of transaction of data is done on a drive. You know before Microsoft bought the defrag program from Norton it was named SpeedDisk. While the machine is on sometimes try to sense the heating of your PC's components such as the harddisk. If its excessively heated you should try to cool it down and find out why its becoming so. Check if your harddisk's data cable would need a replacement. Periodically clean the inside of your PC.
