maverick319 Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 Right click on My Computer, Properties, Hardware, Device Manager,IDE/ATA, click on Primary and Secondary channels, then advanced. You have to use the drop down arrow to change to USE DMA if available. Restart and check to see that DMA is enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
