There's Nothing you can do for this problem! Its a problem with almost all Sony DVD writers. The cd/dvd recognition takes almost 15 secs.

Lets hope Sony solves this with a firmware upgrade in the future.

Is your HDD and DVD-Writer in the same IDE Cable......If yes..then Plz seperate them...by using another IDE cable as secondary....
