Turning off auto inset notification in XP PRO? Turn on DMA?

[FFactory0x]

Exactly what title says. I want to turn off auto insert notification for both my friends DVD drive nd dvdrw. How do i do this. Registry keyt would help. Also how do i check if both have dma on? In hardware manager on each drive there is no option for this. Reason i ask is my boy cant burn cdr's cdrws etc no matter what speed without at 75% getting bufferunderrun even though his drive has underrun protect + he has 2.8p4 and 2 gigs of ram

Bring up the advanced settings on the ide controllers property sheet in device manager. Pick "DMA if available"

Turning off auto inset notification in XP PRO

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\
Services\Cdrom\

Next, look towards the right side of the registry screen for "AutoRun" or "AutoPlay". Double click on this text then in the "value data" field, enter a "0" to disable Auto Insert Notification

this is something it looks like. 0x0000001 (1)
which "1" do i change. the one at the end of the zeros or the "1" in the parenthesis

There is no auto insert notification for CD's. The IDE specification has no mechanism for alterting the computer about an event. Explorer actually polls the IDE bus to find when you insert a CD.

To answer your second question, you're seeing two representations of the same number: hex and then decimal in parentheses. Double click on it and you'll only be able to change it one way.
