I tried running it with -Z and it does go a little bit faster, but not x16 or x24 as it should. I tried setting the drive speed to 16 and 24 with hdparm moreover and then forced cdparanoia to read at those speeds and it won't do it. > > Of note is that the drive on my laptop is detected as ide, not as > > scsi, or so it seems.

The reason I mentioned this is that on this http://www.marlow.dk/site.php/tech/dell_latitude_d600 account of a Latitude D600 configuration he recommends loading ide-scsi and making sure it gets detected as scsi by putting a line append = "hdc=ide-scsi" in the lilo config file. I use grub though so I'm not sure what the equivalent is. Also, aside from cdparanoia going slow, creating images or copying CDs with k3b is also very slow. I don't think this is normal. What good is it to have a 48x drive if it won't go faster than 6x? Alex. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
