Heya there. I have a piece of software which requires DMA mode on my harddrive, but it seems to enjoy PIO...... and keeps resetting itself to it, most frustrating!

The only way I can get around this is by going:
System -> Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers

And then uninstalling all of the primary and secondary IDE channels.

On a reboot, my harddrive appears to be in DMA mode, hoorah. But a restart or two later, its back to PIO. Its a pain in the arse everytime I wish to use this software :(

Please help!

Thanks for your time :)
