DMA drive stuck at PIO mode in Win 2000; performance is horrible, please help!

E

Etienne Mitchel

While copying DVD data from hard drive to DVD drive I had a series of ATAPI
errors,
From the System log:Warning:
"An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 during a paging
operation. "
Error:
"The device, \Device\Ide\IdePort0, did not respond within the timeout
period." >>>>


and now my hard drive a Western Digital 80 gig special edition (8MB cache)
is running in PIO mode and I'm lost at what to do to return it to DMA.
Please let me know if you find a fix. Performance is horrible now. Transfer
mode is at "DMA if available" and the CMOS has DMA enabled.
