With DMA, burning speed is back to normal! Sorry Slynky, no check for XP!  |

Re: CD Burning Speed
I noticed that when my computer boots, it says secondary IDE Ultra DMA capable but not enabled.
does this mean that I should check my bios and see if there is a toggle in there?
Just curious, it takes about 6-7 mins for me to burn a CD at 48x and judging from the Posts here it should be faster.
Cheers! |

Is it not the same as in 2000?

Yes, you definitely need to enable DMA. But, do it from within Windows, not BIOS. XP and 2000 tend to ignore the BIOS at every turn (as all modern OS do).

Re: CD Burning Speed
I've never used 2000.

Re: CD Burning Speed
I'm running WinXP Home, when I check my IDE devices it says..
transfer mode  MA if available
(Current Mode:PIO)
there is no option to force DMA, I suspect it's because the BIOS has UDMA Disabled. I don't see how windows would be able to 'bypass' BIOS since BIOS is the very first thing that is loaded.
If any of you know where I should look to togle DMA on in WinXP, please let me know.
,.. I just checked my MB manual and I was wrong, when my computer boots it doesn't say "UDMA capable but not enabled." It says, "S.M.A.R.T Capable but not Enabled." Is this the thing that I should toggle on in my BIOS? Is this what will allow WinXP to use the DMA access for the HD and CD-ROM?
Thanks for any feedback, Cheers! |
