Note these instructions only apply if you are using the default Hard drive
controller drivers.
If you have replace them with third party drivers (from Intel or Via or
whatnot), the instructions will vary (see their instructions).

i wasn`t 100% sure what i was doing but after a few tries i had to
enable the second device on secondary ide control as pio
and i managed to burn a cd again
so a big thank you :-)
all i need now is the resolution of the dvd rom that plays movies but
won`t
read cd`s or dvd rom software!

After messing with it for a couple of days I finally decided to burn a CD
and work on the Internet at the same time. It did not slow my Internet
activity (On the first system it brought Internet activity to a stop in PIO
mode) down at all so I know it is enabled, but it is driving me nuts trying
to find a way to make the option show in Device Manager.
Any suggestions
Thanks
Bob

It only appears if you are using the inbuilt Microsoft drivers. If you
have third party ones (including I think the VIA 4 in one) they assume
you mean you want DMA as you installed them and give no option.
It seems yours is working - so don't try to fix!

1. Can't enable DMA for DVD drive
hi
I have an Asus DVD-E616 dvd drive and i'm stuck to PIO
mode although i've selected 'dma if availabe'. I've tried
to do select PIO, then click ok, then go back to DMA (as
microsoft described) but it doesn't help. I've also
uninstalled the drive and reintalled but nothing.
It's intalled as secondary slave. The secondary master is
a CD-r unit and it has dma enabled. On the primary
channel everything is ok. Mainboard is an Asus a7v133
with a via kt133 chipset with updated drivers. The dvd
has no drivers - besides the ones windows installs...I'm
running XP
when viewing DVD's the picture is jerky, sound has a lot
of clpping (even with 2 diferent sound cards) and the cpu
is always above 90% usage. When I insert a data cd in
this drive, while it's being accessed the computer gets
slow and even the mouse pointer get's jerky. That doen't
happen with the CD-R drive.
Everything was ok (including the dvd playback) until a
while ago when I started noticing what I just described
(don't know what I did wrong at that point..if i did
anything wrong). so I assume the DMA was enabled until
sometime ago(although i'm not sure)
please help! It's impossible to watch dvd's like this!
thanks
