DMA Transfer Mode
As far as I know cdrom/cd-rw only run in PIO mode. DMA is
for hard drives joe. -----Original Message----- I have a Gigabyte motherboard -ga 8srx- with Pentium 4 1,7 ghz and 512 ddr ram. The problem is that i can't make my pionner dvd-rom 116 to work at DMA tranfer mode. I have a liteon cd-rw also. I have them both on the secondary IDE channel -cd-rw as master and dvd-rom as slave. I have tried various combinations, dvd-rom as master and cd-rw as slave, I have left the dvd alone as master to the secondary channel, i have updated the motherboard drivers, i have flash the BIOS to the latest version -f9- all with no effect. The dvd continious to work only in PIO mode. If anyone have any other suggestions, i'll be very gratefull!! . |

DMA Transfer Mode
A.J.
You are a bit out-of-date. My CDRW is communicating at UDMA2 and the DVD-ROM is communicating at UDMA4 right now. George, Have you tried to double check the Advanced settings in the Device Manager for the Secondary IDE channel to make sure it is set to do "DMA if available"? Paul wrote in message ...
