  • Setting DMA Mode on IDE Drives

    I am running through the Tweak Guide for Windows XP on Tweaktown, and on Windows XP Tweaking Part Two - Page 3
    it lists a method of setting the DMA mode for the drives. I don't have an advanced TAB in which to set my DMA mode and was wondering if anyone knows how I can get one to display or why mine isn't displaying presently.

    Cheers,

    Ben.

      Thanks a bunch Tom, I bet that is the problem, I did install IAA2 with my other drivers immediately after installation of windows.

      Now the question of how bad do I want DMA on my roms, because I was having periods of 100% CPU utilization when copying from hard drive to hard drive. After installing IAA2 the CPU load dropped to 35% max.

      Thankyou again for your help.

      Cheers,

      Ben.
