    PIO/DMA Problem with Plextor 161040A and Asus A7M266

    Just to let everyone know... I reformatted last night with clean Win2K installed, put on all drivers in the correct order, and now things seem to be running fine. While I was at it, I stuck in an extra 256 megs of Crucial PC2100... gotta love the current RAM market. By the way, does anyone...

    PIO/DMA Problem with Plextor 161040A and Asus A7M266

    'sup Jaydogg? It was working just fine, but all of a sudden my new Plextor drive started running in PIO mode instead of DMA mode... can't figure out why. Goddamn VIA/AMD/etc...

    PIO/DMA Problem with Plextor 161040A and Asus A7M266

    My 12x burner only burns at 8x!!!

    I've got a Plextor 16X burner, and BURN-Proof keeps cutting in because I can't get DMA enabled on the drive... it's set to PIO 4 in the BIOS (that's what the BIOS auto-detects - it sets PIO to 4 and DMA to disabled...

    PIO/DMA Problem with Plextor 161040A and Asus A7M266

    Been there, done that. Still says PIO mode in that tab for the drive, even though DMA if available is selected. The problem is that the BIOS is disabling DMA instead of setting it to DMA-2. -Will
