    UDMA problem in WinXP

    Something I learned from the Net when my TEAC CDR-W512EB suddenly wouldn't become anything but "PIO only" in Device Manager.

    1. Regedit
    2. Locate "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEMS\
    CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}"
    3. Select the rellevant IDE channel
    4. Change "MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed" Hexadecimal value to "ffffffff" (or Decimal value to "4294967295")
    5. Go to the rellevant IDE channel in Device Manager and switch Transfer Mode under the "Advanced Settings" tab back and forth to "DMA if available"
    6. DMA mode should now appear active


    Worth sticky, BPB ?

    Stickworthy for some! Now tell me how to enable DMA on the slave drive on the nForce2 chipset in Win98.

    Yep - no go. It seems to be a bug in the nForce2 or the "Standard Dual-channel IDE Controller" in Win98.

    I believe it's the chipset. I keep seeing more threads about nForce2 and Win98 IDE problems. However, nForce in some cases was suffering from a similar problem and they were fixing it with BIOS updates.

    also make sure you're not using a 40 conductor ribbon cable but an 80 conductor ribbon cable

    This also applies to some errors that an nforce2 based motherboard might have with the 40 conductor cable.

    More information can be found here

    those forums are new, just opened up a couple of months ago, and where in it's beta days. I'm sure it's there to stay for good this time.
