Are you using Win2K? The most common cause of the symptoms you describe is that 2K sets devices to PIO mode when you change drives on it.
right click on My Computer-->Manage-->Device Manager.
look at the setings for your Secondary IDE connector (could be on primary, but unlikely) under IDE/ATAPI Controllers.
Get Properties for the secondary IDE channel
under the Advanced Settings tab, set both transefer modes (or just one, if you have one CD drive) to "Use DMA if available" hit ok, and it will ask you to reboot.
Now it should work right.
PS: the disc won't burn in 1 minute, becasue 52x is the theoretical maximum burn rate at the very outside edge of the disc, assuming ideal media. less than 3 minutes might well be possible, though. Anything under 4 minutes, and call it good enough.
