Enabling DMA for a LG CD-RW

[efc]

1. Open Device Manager
2. Double-click IDE ATA/ATAPI Controlers to display the list of controllers and channels.
3. Right-click the icon for the channel to which the device is connected, select Properties and then click the Advanced Settings tab.
4. In the Current Transfer Mode drop-down box, select DMA if Available if the current setting is "PIO Only".

If the drop-down box already shows "DMA if available" but the current transfer mode is PIO, then user must toggle the settings.

THANKS a LOT guys! I see a noticeable difference in burn time.

Guess I shoulda asked u guys instead of fooling around...

In the BIOS it says -
" PIO Mode : 4
Ultra DMA Mode : 2 "
So I guess UDMA is supported, and I dont get the 'enable DMA' message anymore.
DMA is alive..... thanks again
