Greg Hess Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 You can perform this same function without a utility by doing the following... Start-settings-ctrl panel-system-device manager-devices There will be an IDE controller, right click and properties on the primary and secondary channels. You'll see device settings, thats where you can set DMA or PIO mode for all devices on the chain, just set everything to DMA, it'll auto select the correct ones, reboot and your done.

Greg Hess Posted June 27, 2002 Share Posted June 27, 2002 PIO mode, roughly translated means... "SLOW AS SHI#" Its a compatability mode, from 1 to 16 megs a second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
