No James, best to use decent media....

it can take upto about 30 seconds for the drive to display the contents of a cd from closing the drive...and if its a dvd data disk with a large amount on it it seems like 2-3 min to display the info and also this really slows down my whole system.

Try using a TDK DVD disk instead of the media you have been using - does this reproduce the problem?

What software are you using to author (burn) DVD disks?

Sounds like it needs seeing to.
