Hello folks,

I've a problem with my Sony 16X DVD Writer. (DRU-820A)

I noticed the problem yesterday night. I was copying some files from DVD to my HDD. Everything was working fine. All of a sudden the time to copy files increased rapidly. Today morning I noticed that to burn a DVD, it takes about 1 hour. Previously it used to take 13 minutes to burn a DVD at the same speed.

Please help me out.
