Turning DMA on

[Bruceh]

I was running a 3rd party analyzer and it indicated
that my 2nd hard drive's DMA is off (my primary
drive's DMA is on).

How do I change it? I checked Device Manager
and the drive's property, but didn't see anything
to change it.

TIA

Hi TIA,

I think you'll need to enter your BIOS to enable that option. Usually
your bios is entered when you're cold booting your computer with a
delete key touch at the right time.

The DMA option is under the IDE Controller channel properties,
not the drive properties.
