| 614517 | 2007-11-25 07:20:00 | Wainuitech post26:= I followed the "instructions here"...deleted primary and secondary ide controllers...not the sis pci ide controller, rebooted,went to device manager,primary was all DMA, secondary was dev o Transfer mode is PIO and current transfer mode is PIO. Should I now run the reset DMA again? You can try - it wont hurt to rerun the DMA tool. As Speedy has said - try changing the Cable. Its a process to locate the problem. If it still plays up after the cable change try attaching a different drive. Doesn't have to be a DVD - its just to see if the DMA will change, BUT a DVD drive would be better as then you can see if your DVD's play OK. No Need to mount in the case - hell I test like this all the time - leave them hanging out the side, the DVD's will still work |

| 614518 | 2007-11-25 21:09:00 | Start a new day.. I changed the 2ary ide 80 cable, (had a new one from somewhere). played dvd..distorted. Looked in device manager. 2ary still says for device o:-transfer mode= DMA if avail. & current transfer mode=PIO mode. Ran RESETDMA, rebooted, still says as above. I was thinking about the lens being dirty so I played my backup cd of mp3s, no problem. I then played my back up dvd of my photos, no problem. Would this mean that the dirty lens theory is not correct? |

| 614520 | 2007-11-25 21:20:00 | if the lens was a problem the playback of the whole thing would be stuffed, not just sound. Hack you checked bios settings to make sure dma is not disabled? |

| 614521 | 2007-11-25 21:34:00 | if the lens was a problem the playback of the whole thing would be stuffed, not just sound. Correct - the Lens is OK. That sound test with the MP3's was not done before (or mentioned). The DMA should have been reset with the tool, it does the same thing as the manual reg hack with out the problem of "mucking it up" by changing the wrong keys. If you want he manual reg hack - open regedit go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} It has subkeys like 0000, 0001, 0002, etc. Normally 0001 is the primary IDE channel, 0002 the secondary, but other numbers can occur under certain circumstances. You have to go through these subkeys and check the DriverDesc value until you find the proper IDE channel. Delete MasterIdDataChecksum or SlaveIdDataChecksum, depending on whether the device in question is attached as master or slave, but it can't actually hurt to delete both. Reboot. The drive DMA capabilities will be redetected. Note that many CD and DVD drives only use UDMA-2, because their data rate is much lower than that of a hard disk. This is normal and no reason to worry. 2006-01-19 – Horst Schülke wrote that it is sufficient to empty the content of these values. But you can also delete the values entirely. Windows will automatically recreate them anyway, with new content. Open Device Manager again and check whether the device is now actually using DMA mode. If so, congratulations, you've made it (at least until the next time Windows disables DMA). If not, you may have to change the IDE channel setting from PIO back to the highest available DMA mode and reboot again. Personally I'd try another Drive first. |

| 614522 | 2007-11-25 22:08:00 | Agent_24:- On start up pressed f9 but could not find where DMA shows enabled or not. Wainuitech:- Looks too complicated for me, will try and find where DMA is enabled or not, then last resort take drive back to comp.shop.What is the standard warranty (months) for Lite-on? |
gradebdan (2186) | ||
| 614523 | 2007-11-25 22:16:00 | it's pretty much the same as what wainuitech posted but you can look here sniptools.com for some tips on this problem. Did you do as suggested and check the BIOS setting? |

Just to add confusion :lol: could be 12 Months or 14 Months - See Warranty Details (www.imagef1.net.nz)from one of my suppliers - but being 11 months old I think you said it is still covered ( just) |

| 614525 | 2007-11-25 23:52:00 | DMA almost certainly won't be the problem.....but anyway. To check if it's enabled, open the Device Manager, and look in the properties of the IDE controller that your optical drive is plugged into. (Normally IDE/ATAPI Controllers, and probably the secondary controller, depends how you have your PC set up.) In the controller properties, look under advanced settings, the "current transfer mode" should be set to "Ultra DMA Mode 2". If it isn't, generally you won't be able to re-enable it, what you need to do is uninstall both the optical drive and the controller (from within the device manager, right click on the item, uninstall), and reboot. On restart, Windows will reinstall the drivers and all will be as it should. |
