Hi,
I need to enable DMA on my D-Drive (advice from pcpitstop)
I do know how to enable DMA (in theory) but am having
problems with value types in the Registry Editor and need
a 'fool-proof' guide to completing this operation.
I know how to get to the registry editor and I do know how
to access the correct registry key. I know also that:
On the Edit menu, click Add Value, (see 'types of value
note below')and then add the following registry value:
Value Name: EnableUDMA66
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 1
Then:
Quit Registry Editor.
Restart the computer.
I'm OK so far!
But am stuck, (I think) on 'types of value'.
Can you please help me out?
I found on Help menu:
"On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click the type
of value you want to add: String Value, Binary Value, or
DWORD Value"
So WHAT do I want for the values?
Is THIS right: ????
Value Name: EnableUDMA66 (is it STRING?)
Data Type: REG_DWORD (is it DWord?)
Value: 1 (is it BINARY?)
Can I have an 'idiot-proof' answer for this last stage - I
don't want to mess up now! I don't have a windows 2000
installation CD, so if I get it wrong, I think I'll have a
Thanks for getting me through the last stage!!!!
