Ok, here is the problem. My friend's WD Special Edition 80gig will not run in DMA Mode!! He has an Abit SA6R motherboard (intel.. i know..). I have tried everything in the Bios.. the drive is on the master chanel at the end of an ATA100 cable and set to Cable Select mode. In the bios i have tried setting the drive to Auto Detect, and Manual - LBA mode. But no matter what i do when i go into win2000 or xp (i dual boot). And go to the device manager and primary IDE chanel it will not go to DMA Mode! I have the option for "DMA If Avalible" chosen but it is still running in PIO Mode! I have the most current bios for the motherboard. I have tried everything and i cant get it out of PIO mode!! HELP!
