CD combo drive only writes to cd at cdrw speed

[Wasim]

hey, my cd combo drive has been working glitch free for the past 3 years. now when i put a cd-rw in it recognises it as a cd-rw and hence writes at cd-rw speeds. i know for a fact they are cdrs. i have been using nero right from the start and i have no idea what the problem is. im using windows xp sp1

If you put a CD-RW in it like you said, then It'll only write as fast as that CD-RW media is capable of. Nero is smart enough to see what the media you're putting is is capable of and only writing that fast.

So if your CD-RW is only rated for 10x...

and your drive can write RW's at 32x max...

You can only burn at 10x

Keep in mind that CD-RW's can't be written too as fast as CD-R's.
