| TWEAK:- PROBLEMS ENABLING DMA ON IDE DRIVES |
| Monday, 18 August 2008 |
Are you experiencing jerky DivX;-) movies or does your
mp3s click and pop on your new fancy Pentium IV 3Ghz+?
Then the reason is probably that XP has set your IDE
drives into PIO mode instead of DMA! Remedy? Enter the
device manager by right clicking “my computer” and
choosing “properties” and then “hardware”.
Double click on the “IDE primary drive” and then
“advanced settings”. There you can see the current
setting for the master and the slave drives on the
primary IDE channel. There you can select transfer mode.
If it is set at “PIO only”, then select “DMA if
available” instead and reboot!
If the computer persists on having only PIO after reboot
even though the hard drive is a flashing super-duper
ATA133 and transfer mode set to “DMA if available”, then
you have to do the following:
Remove the primary device in the device manager and
reboot! Voilà, now the harddrive should be running in
DMA mode.
Repeat on the secondary IDE channel if necessary.
Now enjoy your smooth running DivX;-) and mp3s and the
overall increased performance of your computer!Labels: ide drives |
