Comment: I have a Compaq Presario 1692 Laptop, with a Toshiba DVD-Rom SD-C2202 drive. Eversince I formatted and installed first win 2000 now win xp, it bloody thing wont ready dvds correctly. As if the whole thing is in slow motion. skipping frames. thing is i also have problems reading from cds, especially when installing software. sometimes, i get totally stuck, i open the drive, leave it for a few minutes and try again and it works. as if it were getting overheated or something/. I know the dvd pronblem could be aquestion of enabling DMA.
In my primary ide channel: device 0: dma if available, current mode,: multi-word dma mode 2; device 1: dma if available, current : not applicable.
my secondary ide: device 0, dma if available, but current id pio mode; device 1: dma if available, current not applicable.

Reply: (edit)Hi, I have the exact same problem using Win2k. As far as I have heard it's a Windows-2000-only problem. It won't regard the Toshiba DVD-Rom (mine is a SD-2502) - which is not an UDMA-capable drive - as a Multi-Word-DMA drive and so it connects to it in PIO-Mode. Win98 instead works perfectly fine. I am also getting the same "IDE#1 ERROR" at startup. What might help is an update of the Busmaster-Driver, but I haven't tried that yet.

Reply: (edit)When I upgraded to Windows XP my dvd stopped working and said my decoder needs to be updated. I downloaded the PowerDVD SE upgrade for Windows Media Player but now all I get is sound and video. Has anyone else had this problem? And have you found a solution for this problem? If you have can you e-mail me at lacy_jeremy@msn.com with the soultion. Thanks.
