Hi, I have a system which is set to tri-boot (Win98SE, Win2K, WinXP). In WinXP I can set the DMA for the IDE controllers through Control Panel > Device Manager > IDE Controller > Primary or Secondary > Advanced Tab. For Win2K, the advance tab is not there. How can I change the DMA setting if the option is not there? Also, how do I change the DMA for Win98SE? I know you need to change it by using each CDROM's properties but there is no check box for DMA. I have an Intel D850EMD2 Motherboard. P1: WD120GB P2: Plextor CDRW S1: Sony DVDROM S2: HP DVD200i I also have an external Plextor DVD Writer. The plextor websites says I NEED to enable DMA, but as I listed above, am having difficulties. Thank you for your replies in advance.

Hi DK Have you got the Intel Application Accelerator installed ? If yes, this is why the Advanced tab is missing. Krystyna

Hi Krystyna, Thanks for your help, I will remove the program and try again. DK
