i have an amilo pro v2055 with the same dvdrw.
my problem i kinda different: writng cds and dvds does not seem to have any problem, nore is reading cds. reading dvds is the problem. it takes about 30 min to copy a movie (700mb) from the dvd to hard drive. event viewer in windows says : the driver detected a controller error on \device\cdrom0. using help and support center to find out details says : this problem is typically caused by a failing cable that connects the drive to tha computer. i do not know what to do anymore. i had problems like this (slow copy) in the past, but after a restart i got back to normal. now, not even after reinstalling windows the problem didn't go away. can this "cable problem" be real or there may be another problem? if the device is the problem, form where can i buy a similar dvdrw (i mean a dvdrw with the same shape)?
p.s. not all the time the problem appears, but it does (80% or more of the cases)
