Slowly follow this guide and you will be able to change your DMA back to ON or DMA IF AVAILABLE. Just a note for you to keep in mind: it's "not" a "advanced tab", it's a "ADVANCED SETTINGS" - you will be able to find this easily inside either your "PRIMARY or SECONDARY" IDE Channel Properties. Both of the Primary and Secondary is under the"IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers." Just LEFT click on the [+] sign of IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers and you should see them now. It's not that hard, again here's the guide: To enable DMA mode using the Device Manager 1. Right click "My Computer," on DeskTop, click on "Properties," then, "Hardware," Then Open "Device Manager" 2. LEFT click on "IDE ATA//ATAPI Controllers" to display the list of controllers and channels. 3. Right-click the icon for the channel to which your burner is connected and select Properties. Now click the Advanced Settings tab. 4. In the Current Transfer Mode drop-down box, select DMA if available if the current setting says, "PIO Only." If the drop-down box already says, "DMA if Available" but the current transfer mode is PIO, then the user must "toggle" the settings. That is, change the selection from "DMA if available" to PIO only, and click "OK". Then repeat the steps above to change the selection to "DMA if available". OPTION: Right-click the burner and select "Uninstall" and then "OK" all prompts until the PC reboots. Upon rebooting, the PC should "find" your burner and reinstall it setting it by "Default" to DMA. Here is what I see the DMA is OFF from your first posted error log: === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : SAMSUNG SP8004H IdeChnDr Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6E040L0 IdeChnDr Port 0 ID 1 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : HL-DT-ST CD-RW GCE-8520B IdeChnDr Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : BENQ DVD DD DW1620 IdeChnDr Port 1 ID 1 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off
in a later post it shows that it is on but maybe they way i have the jumper settings it is not allowing me to show the Advance settings tab here is what is in my 4th post === Scsi-Device-Map === DiskPeripheral : SAMSUNG SP8004H IdeChnDr Port 0 ID 0 DMA: On DiskPeripheral : Maxtor 6E040L0 IdeChnDr Port 0 ID 1 DMA: Off CdRomPeripheral : BENQ DVD DD DW1620 IdeChnDr Port 1 ID 0 DMA: On CdRomPeripheral : Generic DVD-ROM 1.0 d347prt Port 2 ID 0 DMA: Off i have made a screen shot to show what the problem is: http://members.shaw.ca/islars/ where #1 is where to start from, yes? #2 is where the advanced settings should be, yes?
sorry to threadjack....but regarding resetting DMA i'm using windows 98, and i can't find IDE ATA/ATAPI in device manager to change dma my encoding is taking forever, from old thread searches, it looks like i need to reset dma, just need to find out how for sure in win98 i did find this in a thread, which is what i'm gonna try tonight, should this work? Setting DMA mode: Windows 95/98/ME Users Right click on [My Computer] and select [Properties] from the menu. Click on [Device Manager], then click on [CD-ROM]. This will expand to show the CD drives on your system. Right click on a drive and select [Properties] from the menu. Click on the [Settings] tab and check that the [DMA] option is enabled. Repeat this procedure for the remaining CD drives. /end threadjack
hi all @ subotai @ jer2911tx Uninstall the 2 channels and the intel drivers ( intel for subotai ) for jer2911tx is yours intel or via4in1? but anyway for both of you uninstall them and reboot your pcs! then use "nero info tool" to check your dma status!
thanks for the help Rotary i think that applies to my laptop, which is winxp. i did get nero with my liteon burner, i just haven't messed with it since shrink and decrypter were doing the job. i guess i should ytry to use nero to check the status of dma via the info tool. if i can load nero on win98, i'll check the desktop, too i can't go to device manager IDE ATA/ATAPI for the desktop using win98, i have to go to the cd rom list in device manager and check each drive individually, i think. they say dma is enabled, but it is taking an hour or more to encode....way longer than it used to. i tried reading from dvdrom on desktop and writing to dvd burner to see if that would speed up the process using two drives, still takes forever to encode. i updated the firmware for both drives, not sure what to check next if dma is enabled already. i'll try to get nero info tool working thanks for the help
thanks for the help. I tried that and device manager is still the same but nero says it is turned on. im going to try and reinstall windows and get some better dvd-r i think ill try and copy/burn with just shrink and dvd decrytper, skip nero. ill post back if that works. thanks for the help everyone and thanks for being so patient as i am a total noob at this!
