well after some study I have learned that device #1 (not #0) on each ide channel is in PIO mode, not dma, that is, the d and e drive. the main c drive is in ultra dma. I did install some new programs recently. how do i get out of slow pio mode for these 2 drives? i had pio mode once before but it was a faulty drive, how can I have 2 at once fail? sounds like a driver/ resource conflict maybe? help thanks fj
hello,
win 2000 pc . . .
I recently defragged all my hard drives, and i am doing some editing with premiere 6.5. now any video I play from the d or e drive is VERY choppy and slow, but anything played from the c drive is fine.
also, in xferring a big mgb file to the c drive, the xfer is slow and computer function is all herky jerky.
dma is enabled on all drives, i restarted, no help. any ideas on how to trouble shoot? thanks - fj
