You're not offering any inforation on the hardware or the OS, but anyway...

Get into BIOS setup and make sure it is set to UDMA or AUTO... probably is anyway unless you've chosen a default BIOS configuration.

Determine the manufacturer of the PC and/or Motherboard. If all else fails you can ID the hardware from the FCC ID. Go to their website and download whatever latest and greatest program they have for installation that matches your hardware.

Install it.

The direct memory access controller is part of the CPU and doesn't need a driver. You won't ever find a driver because none exist for it.
