I got a HP Omnibook 4150 with the IBM DADA-26480 6.4GB harddrive. Now when i look at hp's webpage there is a bios especially made for win2000, that is installed. After i did a clean installation of win2000. Now i cant get anyother transfer mode than pio mode from this disk. Question, does it support DMA mode?
 
Now i looked at IBMs webpage
http://www.storage.ibm.com/techsup/hddtech/dada/dadades.htm
It told me this:
 
Interface transfer rate (MB/sec) 33.3 MB/sec Ultra DMA mode-2
16.6 MB/sec PIO mode-4
 
Meaning? It does?
 
In win2k device manager it seams it does not. Its choosed to be dma if available but still it says PIO mode only..
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks
