| 696989 | 2008-08-13 05:14:00 | Wanted to check DMA setting on a slow XP machine but device mgr doesn't show any channels under the IDE/ATAPI controller section . The nvidia controller is there but that is all . Makes it hard to check DMA/PIO mode! Any ideas how this could come about? Googling hasn't been helpful . Machine is a DSE one a few yrs old with one HDD and one CDRW . Will get to check it on Fri . |

| 696991 | 2008-08-13 11:12:00 | Yea, will have a poke into the BIOS but don't hold much hope for seeing the problem there . Think I'll end up imaging the drive and uninstalling the controller . But will check jumpers etc first . I don't know whether it has always been like this or whether there has been a change . I'll also check that Intel accelerator isn't loaded as this can cause funny disk problems . Cheers . |
