| After installing Windows Me, to enable UDMA, I put a check the DMA box (as I heard the Intel drivers weren't so good). However, once it reboots, the system is very jerky as it appears each time the drive is accessed, it pauses for a second. Well, I disabled DMA, and then installed the Intel drivers, which resulted in a persistant BSOD saying "Can't write to C Drive" during boot. So now I have reformatted and have a nice clean install of Windows Me (I was hoping to get this up and running, then install Windows 2000). Any ideas as to how I can get UDMA enabled? Could the fact that I have a ZIP-100 chained with the UDMA/100 drive be the cause? Thanks! |

| Yeah, thats a good start. Try disconnecting the Zip Drive and keeping an ATA100 drive on a cable only with other ATA100 driver. Let us know if that helps. By the way, the intel drivers don't allow DMA checking of hard drives, nor will checking the DMA box on CD driver remain checked with the new Beta drivers. However the ATA100 utility provided by Intel will show that the devices are running in their correct DMA mode if they support it. |
