Have a problem with hard disk acting up. Suspect very strongly (all tests
pass and it's a fresh install but apps have been installed also now) it's
because Windows is trying to use DMA Mode 6 (what DM states) where-as it's
identified as a "Mode 5" hard disk during the BIOS boot.
I've goggled many combinations looking for an answer but best I've come up
with is a comment from a fellow on a forum saying he solved the problem
thanks to another forums help and gives a failed link to a news article.
I also came across the following but it's unclear to me exactly what to edit
???

for Multi-Word DMA Mode 2 and PIO4 (burners, very old HDDs...) - 0x0410
