I have just installed Neo DVD - an excellent program for making DVD's from downloaded movies. However, when I first ran it a warning box appeared saying that 1 or more of my drives may not have DMA enabled. I could well believe that, because it takes forever to move files from 1 drive to another, and everything slows to a crawl, CPU usage goes to 100% or close.
I am running XP Pro, with an athlon 1200 on a Gigabyte 7IXE4 motherboard, 512 MB memory and 2 hard drives, 1 X 80GB divided into 20, 20 and 40, with a second 60GB drive unpartitioned.
When I look in System information > Hardware Resources > DMA, I see the floppy, Parallel Printer Port and Direct memory Access, all showing OK, but no mention of the hard drives.
Can anyone tell me how to enable DMA, as I believe this would speed everything up considerably? I tried following the XP help, but it seemed very vague
