I'm using the command to copy CDROM image:
# dd if=/dev/sr0 of=./maverick.iso
But it's very slow, at about 350k bytes/sec. I've searched the google, and try the command
# hdparm -vi /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0:
HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Bad address

Seems like DMA is already on.
And a device test gives:
# hdparm -t /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0:
Timing buffered disk reads: 2 MB in 6.58 seconds = 311.10 kB/sec
# sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sr0
/dev/sr0:
Timing cached reads: 2 MB in 2.69 seconds = 760.96 kB/sec
Timing buffered disk reads: m 4 MB in 5.19 seconds = 789.09 kB/sec
The CD-ROM device and disc should be okay because I can copy it very fast in Windows, using UltraISO utility.
So I guess there is something not configured right in Ubuntu, is it?
