HP 16X DVD will only perfom at 2x

Yesterday I noticed the HP DVD reader/writer on my wifes PC will only
perform at 2x. I can't figure out how it got set to a slow speed. Nero
drive-speed only shows 2x. All other actions are at a max of 2x. What
could have happened?

Thanks,
Mike

Check that is hasn't been bumped from DMA mode to PIO.

You are correct oh wise one. CMOS reports that it should be UDMA2 and
system settings reports that it's current transfer mode is" PIO only".
The select box is grayed out showing "Autodetect". The Transfer mode
says "DMA if available". What to, what to do?

Thanks

BTW its a HP Pavilion a1510n about 6 months old.
