DMA on XP
The article mentions using the "Advanced" tab in the device driver
properties box. I don't get an "Advanced" tab displayed with my IDE controllers. I do see it only on a few devices such as the USB controller and Ehternet adapter. Why doesn't it appear on the IDE? What can I do, if anything, to restore it? Dave "Ronnie Vernon MVP" wrote in message ... Matthew Morrison wrote: How dow I enable DMA for my hard drives and CD drives?
