I just upgraded to W2k and had a similiar problem. What OS are you running??

Sounds like you installed Intel ultra ATA drivers utility. Once that is in, the DMA option is no longer under system properties. You have to open the Intel program.

On my friend's system, it was in the Start menu.

Try looking in your device manager under &quot;IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers&quot; and search through the properties.

Is the only difference a new mboard. Did you do a swap and now you can't see the DMA check? Are both drives on the same IDE cable, one master and one slave?

The only 2 places I have ever seen DMA settings are on the drives themselves with 9x and in 2k, it's on the IDE controller in the hardware profiles.

Check the ide controller when you do device settings instead of the actual cd/dvd rom and see if it's there under the properties
