DVD DMA Setting

[Bob]

I installed a DVD burner and it is not configured for DMA.

How do I configure it for DMA? I tried to do it in Device Manager but
I cannot find the place to do it.

I am running Win2K / SP4.

Did you look at the IDE controller entry in Device Manager rather than just
the entry for the drive?

Isn't there options in the BIOS? Check it out..

Yep, that's it. I knew it was somewhere. I wonder who set it to PIO
only. Probably Windows from a previous installation - I had a CD-RW in
that position.

Thanks.

The one I was looking for is in Device Manager under IDE ATA/ATAPI
Controllers.
