Disable/Enable DMA in W2K
This is a discussion about Disable/Enable DMA in W2K in the Windows Hardware category; Could someone tell me how to disable/enable dma for a hard drive/dvd-rom in Win2k? I want to disable for my hard drive and make sure it is enabled for my dvd. I can do the hard drive in the bios but I can't seem to find the option for the dvd in the os itself.

yeah, i had a problem finding this, but in Device manager under IDE Controllers, or something like that there are settings for DMA or PIO mode on each IDE channel, i was looking in the drive properties section like in Win98. So just have a snoop around and youll find them

Thanks Winger300,
I appreciate your help. I have a crappy hard drive that doesn't respond well when I overclock and a dvd-rom that needs dma on to work properly. I am going to try to change them now, hopefully it will work.
Thanks again for your help.

In device manager:
IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers:
Go into both Primary and Secondary IDE Channel
Then go into the Advanced settings.
There you can change DMA settings.
