In Win2k where are the.....?

[PC Freak]

The check boxes for cd-rom's
the dma, auto run, disconnect?

sounds stupid, but i really can't find them

After installing the via 4in1 4.26 busmasters I can't find those properties either. They used to be under properties for the cddrive.

 

[PC Freak]

I haven't install any via 4in1 drivers.
do i need to install them, since i'm running win2kpro

This is what i have:
mobo: abit bh mobo with a 300 celery

so are the via's something i can use or not?

I don't know about the autorun or disconnect, but you turn DMA on under IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers in the properties for either primary or secondary IDE controller depending on where your cd-rom is located.

PC_Freak: You should not install the via drivers since you are using an intel board. These drivers are for via boards only.

You can find the check boxes for the DMA under Device Manager >IDE ATAPI Controllers in the advanced properties of the respective IDE channel(Primary or secondary).To change the autorun mode you need to make changes in the registry...goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Cdrom and then change the autorun value to 0 if you want to disable it or 1(which is the default) to enable it ......I dunno about the disconnect option though.............never bothered about it.

.........Cirrus I dont know from where you found cd drive properties in Win2K with those options.......wake up mate I think you are using wini98se or winME
