| Novice tech person running XP and can't figure out how to do this. Getting jittery video and audio. Primary IDE Channel says: Device 0 transfer mode is set at DMA if available Device 1 Device Type-auto detect Transfer Mode-DMA if Available Current Transfer Mode-not available Secondary IDE Channel says the same thing except for Device 0&1 it says PIO for Current Tranfer Mode. I tried uninstalling the secondary IDE and rebooted but it auto reinstalled in PIO instead of DMA. Apparently its the default setting. There is no down arrow for a drop down menu. If I left click it nothing happens and right clicking it only says "what is this" Driving me crazy. Please help! TIA Dave |

| Do you have all the latest update for your chipset/IDE drivers? if not try switching your drive to a different IDE cable connection. Have a look at this link http://sniptools.com/vault/getting-b...windows-xp.htm to make winxp to redetect the dma capabilities of your drive. For repeated DMA errors. Windows XP will turn off DMA mode for a device after encountering certain errors during data transfer operations. If more than six DMA transfer timeouts occur, Windows will turn off DMA and use only PIO mode on that device. |

| hey mate this is my first post here and i just decided to post since i saw that you've not received your solution yet. i figured an easy way to change from pio to dma, and i know pio can be extremely frustrating. i had to format each time this happened before i saw the simplistic trick to revert it back. now, let's get to the point. to revert from dma to pio, all you need to do is uninstall both the primary and the secondary IDE channels. i assume you know how to do that, but here's the how-to anyway. 1) Right click on My Computer 2) Click on Device Manager. 3) Expand the IDE controllers and right-click on the secondary IDE channel. 4) Click on uninstall. 5) Do the same for the primary IDE channel. 6) Now restart your computer. after you restart, your drivers should automatically reinstall, and the transfer mode should have reverted to Ultra DMA Mode. hope i helped, dhruv. edit: i'm not sure if the rules here permit bumping such an old topic. if they don't, i apologize. |
