This case is pretty similar to a few comments that I get occasionally which is my friends are unable to boot up antivirus rescue cds after burning it to a disc. I don’t really know what is the cause of this problem but I always burn my disc at the “LOWEST” speed and never, not even once encounter a computer that cannot read the disc (Hiren’s BootCD, Rescue CDs, Linux Live CDs, Windows PE, ophcrack LiveCD) that I burn. I am not saying that we MUST burn it at a lowest speed but there are some drives out there that is less sensitive and will have problems reading disc that are burned at the maximum speed.
You must be thinking why are there such super fast DVD drive burner available today when we have to burn it at a low speed? Well it is just normal that computer hardware gets faster and bigger in capacity. The manufacturers couldn’t be releasing a slower drive right? So we have a “choice”, to either record our disc in a faster or lower speed.
If you use third party burning software such as Nero Burning ROM, Roxio, and etc, you can easily select the burning speed before it starts burning. But if you want to burn using Windows XP/Vista inbuilt CD-burning software, then here is how to set the recording speed.
Setting recording speed in Windows XP
1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on the drive that is capable of burning and select Properties.
3. Go to Recording tab.
4. Click at the drop down box that shows “Fastest” and select a lower speed. Click OK when done.
Setting recording speed in Windows Vista
1. Insert a blank CD and drag whatever files that you want to burn to the drive.
2. Click “Burn to disc” button.
3. You get to select the recording speed in Burn to disc window.
As you can see, Vista has improved on the disc recording by letting the user choose the burn speed before it burns. Unlike XP it burns at the fastest speed by default and the only way to set it is from the Recording tab in Properties.
