DMA

[Tester]

Hi there,
Is there a way to see and enable DMA access on the hard drives in
Windows 2000 Professional? Thanks a lot, Calin

Open the Device Manager (Start/Run, type devmgmt.msc). D-click IDE controllers.
D-click Primary or Secondary IDE Channel as required. Select Advanced Settings
tab. Change Transfer modes as required.

Hope this helps,

Check in the registry to see if the following values are enabled:
Go to Start button, Run, and type;
regedit (may be regedit32 or regedt32 for win 2000) and go to the following
registry keys and check that the values have the Direct Mode Access enabled.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 0\DMAEnabled set the
value to 3

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port 1\DMAEnabled set the
value to 3
