DMA and what will happen when i disable it.

[proboller86]

Ok i was burning fine until i got dvd fab decrypter and enabled dma. What would happen if i were to disable it. Thats when alot of my problems started.

let's quit beating around the bush here, leave dma alone, it's a good thing not a bad one.

proboller86, do not post so many subsequent messages. you can edit your posts!

[proboller86]

so if i get the nero info toolkit thing and run a scan can you tell me everything that is wrong and what i can do to fix the dvds from skipping

[proboller86]

i don't know why that happened. i was just typing the entry and my computer slowed down and then the internet window went blank. sorry i didn't mean to do what ever it is that i did. anyway would that tell you what you need to know about my problems

[Chewy]

the info tool report?

[proboller86]

yeah, then will you be able to tell whats wrong

[LT. Columbo]

why not just post it and see? you're on thin ice here proboller86. you've had multiple warnings already. chewy doesn't owe anyone anything, and he's trying to help you and you are making the process difficult.

[proboller86]

ok i got the file and it is attached to the thread. And if i am angering you i am sorry. i know chewy doesn't owe me anything and if you took it that way i apoligize.

[Chewy]

ok, now we can get some where, you would have saved yourself a lot of grief
over this last few months by sticking with a thread till the problem was solved.

at first glance I can see you have a dell and a hard drive was added later,
looks like the 80 gig has issues with dma, there are 2 possibilities, your bios is set for pio mode for the drive or someone jumpered it slave and the other drive was jumpered cable select

you have to find out what's going on and fix

this won't fix your old nec burner but it's a start

[proboller86]

i know that the 80 gig hard drive was supposed to be a slave hard drive. or that what they told me. what should i look for.

[Chewy]

and last feb when you posted your nero log it was in pio mode

this is kind of hairy, look for the jumpers on the back of the drives

[proboller86]
