What does it mean when you can't change your Primary IDE in device manager to DMA?? It will let me select "DMA if Available" but in the "current tranfer mode" window is says "PIO Mode" and won't change to DMA..... Running XP on an AMD processor in an HP. the IDE controller is "Standard IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" as is the burner. Anyone know what is up with this? Takes like 3 hrs to backup a DVD
yes, youve system errors recently press start control panel system hardware device manager primary ide the driver box then delete driver it will ask you to restart hit yes and then windows wil find your ide and it will be back in dma mode
