To check DMA/PIO mode within Windows:

Control Panel%26gt;System%26gt;Hardware%26gt;Device Manager%26gt;IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers.

From there, right click on one of the channels and choose 'Properties%26gt;Advanced Settings'. All drives should be DMA mode. The 'Current Transfer Mode' for Hard drives is usually DMA 4-6 and DVD burners DMA 2-4, DVD ROMs usually DMA 2. If you see any in PIO mode, that can slow things down.

Changing them back may be easy or complicated. First see if you can change them in that window. If not, I usually uninstall the channel with PIO mode and let the OS reinstall it. This will usually take a reboot.

DMA retrograde automatically occurs with the cable type (and jumpers).

If not:

Control panel%26gt; System%26gt; Devices%26gt; CDROM property

I don't know if I should take up space on your answer.I was going to say something along the lines about being a dummy also. This person Cutie,knows her stuff.I hope she's there when I have a problem.I don't know 1/2 of what she said,but it seemed like she knows what she is talking about.
telephone the providers helpline no doubt at 拢1.50 per minute and stay on hold for 10 mins whilst they tell you your call is important, thats if if nothing mentioned earlier works. Good luck
