This is also true in Win98 and presumably is OFF for compatiblity with "legacy" hardware. Often Windows will tell you that the drive is running in "DOS Compatibility mode" if this setting is off, but should be on.
Then again, it might've just been this crazy Dell. I don't *remember* ever turning DMA on for my other machine's hard drives, which are definitely UDMA. |
