oviradoi Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I have a P3 650 MHz, 512 RAM, and a maxtor 21 GB HDD (don't know what model).DMA doesn't work in Windows. In Device manager, in the primary IDE controller,i have chose in the combo box DMA if available,but it still indicates PIO mode.The problem is not from BIOS, or the IDE cables, cause using KNOPPIX linux, my DMA works. It just doesn't work under windowsPlease help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oviradoi Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 No, I am using Windows's drivers.I don't have maxtor's drivers (or i don't know if i have). I'll have to look on the cds that came with the PCIf that doesn't work, can you please tell me another way i can fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
