UDMA under Win2k
This is a discussion about UDMA under Win2k in the Windows Hardware category; Okay, this is my one little problem with Win2k (other than no Banshee drivers that work properly), I can't get UDMA working! I have a board based on the ALi 1531/33 chipset with a M5229 Bus Mastering IDE controller.
Okay, this is my one little problem with Win2k (other than no Banshee drivers that work properly), I can't get UDMA working!
I have a board based on the ALi 1531/33 chipset with a M5229 Bus Mastering IDE controller. Its a bad motherboard (made by PC Chips), UDMA works fine under Win98 (1 - 6% cpu usage) but under Win2k I get between 75 - 96% cpu usage (using CLiBench). I've tried different drivers (the win98 and win nt ones) and nothing works, help?
Thanks,
Daniel

Not sure for your setup's. But the only way for me to get UDMA to work on my ABIT BE6-2 is to load the Highpoint UDMA drivers as SCSI drivers during a install. (When it ask for any additional controllers)
After that WIN 2000 runs the UDMA just fine and no problems.
