my windows 2000 sp3 is saying all my drives are running in pio mode. and intel applacation accelerator is saying it is running in dma mode 4(hd) and 2(dvd and cd-rom). and yes i do have set to dma mode if avilible(in the driver properties), is there a fix to this.
and yes i have set it to pio mode then back to dma if avilible and nothing happened.

...does it use the Intel App Accelerator to enable DMA? If so, what version do you have installed? (I think they just updated it a week or so ago)

Can you access that sort of stuff in the BIOS? I could on my (now ancient) PIII 733 Dell...

Well, benchmark your hard drives and see how things go - whether they are acting like they are PIO mode or not...
