Hi,

I have a real strange thing happening. I can not find anywhere how to disable and enable dma for my DVD-ROM/CD-RW .... it says everywhere click on device manager then IDE ATA then properties then advanced.. everything works fine with me until advanced.. i don't find any advanced properties tab !!!!!!
I have a CUSL-2 mobo with Intel 815E chipset, and i am runnung Intel application accelerator...

Any idea ???

Hady

8) I0ve had the same problems but then the tool on Plextors USA site helped me allot!!

Try it! http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/ot...0_3012.zip

PS- only for VIA chipsets!!

You need to do a right click on the "primary (or secondary) ide channel" > "properties" and then "advanced options"

bye

Read the intel Application Accelerator Page. It says you don't need it for XP.

Intel application accelerator updates the driver of your motherboard's controller and replaces it with "ULTRA ATA CONTROLLER". The management of this driver is completely done through the application accelerator software and there are very few options offered, you cannot change dma to pio because it chooses the best settings, (which is accurate most of the time BUT there are rare exceptions)... Uninstalling intel application accelerator would give you back the advanced tab... but I do not recommend it. This soft solves all the problem it can and reduces the bottlenecks of your hardware. Removing wouldn't increase your performance.

And it does help a lot even in XP... especially with dvd-rom drives and recent hard-drives

8) Thanks!

ALRITE...i'd thought i'd help you guyz out again...dam long time since i posted in here...

1)DOWNLOAD THE LATEST INTEL APPLICATION ACCELERATOR.

2)FOLLOW DIRECTIONS INSTALLING.

3)TO DISABLE/ENABLE DMA FOR DRIVES, DO THE FOLLOWING:
a)OPEN THE APPLICATION
b)ON THE LEFT COLUMN, CLICK ON THE DRIVE YOU WANT
c)THAN ON THE RIGHT COLUMN THERE SHOULD BE AT LEAST
2 GREY WRENCH ICONS.
d)DOUBLE CLICK THE ONE THAT SAYS TRANSFER MODE LIMIT
e)CHOOSE FROM YOUR OPTIONS.

4) YOU ARE NOW DONE

OK GUYZ LATER- eLi+e /-/@x0®
GOTTA GIVE PROPS TO WARP2SEARCH CUZ THEY ALWAYZ GOT THE UPDATES.=)[/img][/b]

I had a similiar prob with my rig, only I have an AMD Athlon. I took Pegla's advice and downloaded the via IDE busmaster.

It now sets my C: drive and DVD on IDE Channel 1 to UDMA 2 and my D: drive on IDE channel 2 to UDMA 4 (it supports dma66).

Everything now seems to work a treat! DVD plays extra smooth and C: drive is much faster.

Thanks Pegla, you're a star.
