hey guys, i have a sony 510 and a strange problem with the secondary IDE channel, when my burner is set as master i can only get a setting of PIO, no matter how many times i try to correct this it just stays on PIO. now if i move the burner to slave it will see it as DMA. this problem exists before and after i upgraded the firmware. i have formated and reinstalled the os twice and still have the same results. also with my standard dvd-rom it shows the PIO setting. i quess as long as it works on one channel i could be happy, however i was just wondering if anyone here has experienced this problem before and could shed some light on how to fix it?
thanks in advance for your help,
Obewone

Are you setting the jumper on the back of the drive to master when you move it to master on the cable?

It may very well be a problem with your IDE cable from your mother board. I would wip the cable out & reverse connect it. Then see what happens.
Looking for my old AD |

no problem with the cables, all brand new colorful round ATA133/100/66 cables. swapped two of them to eliminate that possibility. it must be a M/B problem. i flashed it with latest BIOS, did not fix.

Obewone, try uninstalling just the drive, reboot and let windows reinstall the driver, then try and switch from pio to dma

Obewone, you could try calling microsoft. With every O/S you get 2 free tech calls. Well I guess that is if you have windows :)

Do you have both the burner and rom on the same IDE? If yes, try splitting them. DVD rom as slave on Primary and Burner as Master on secondary. I have seen conflicts between drives on same IDE. When installed on different IDE's they worked. Just guessing here.

This does not mean that you have a bad motherboard. Some boards require that the DMA settings also be made in the bios setup, check it. If you have more than one cdrom/ burner on the same cable then swap the order and check your jumpers. Set your burner to master and your rom to slave.

guys i thank you for the help, however i had already mentioned that new cables, swapped cable, BIOS checked, i have the DVD burner and CD burner on the secondary IDE, the primary IDE has 2 160gig HDD's, the DVD rom is on a ATA133 PCI card along with 2 80gig HDD's. no matter which devive i put on the master it shows as PIO. i have tried diferrent settings from master/slave and cable select.i think its time to give up on this on.

Sigh, you got to know that some of us never give up. Do you by any chance use the Intel application accelerator? It has been known to prevent some PCs from accessing DMA. If you have it try uninstalling it and then check your settings.

Sometimes the PIO/DMA thing is only during BIOS and it actually runs in DMA when Windows starts.
To ensure your drives are operating in DMA mode: (1) Control Panel, (2) System, (3) Goto the Hardware Tab, (4) Device Manager, (5) IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, (6) Right Click on Primary IDE Channel --> Properties, (7) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK,(8) Right Click on Seconady IDE Channel --> Properties, (9) Goto the Advanced Settings Tab, Make sure both drop down boxes say 'DMA if Available', Click OK, (10) Reboot.

1. Did you OC the memory also?
2. What cooling config do you have? I ramped mine to 2.4Ghz and didnt like the temperature so back to 2.2-2.3 she goes.
