Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0

Enabling DMA for Windows NT 4.0 requires a DMA bus master IDE controller device driver. This might have been installed at the factory, or you might have to install it yourself. To determine if the device driver is installed, follow these steps:

1.Log on as an administrator.

2.Click Start-->Settings-->Control Panel.

3.Double-click Devices.

4.Select the ATAPI device.

5.If the status is Started, you do not have a DMA bus master IDE controller device driver installed.

If your computer does not have a DMA bus master IDE controller device driver, go to the Web site for the manufacturer of your computer system board and download and install the Windows NT 4.0 DMA device driver. The instructions for installing the device driver are provided on the manufacturer’s Web site.

Note: Carefully read the instructions that come with your device driver. Some versions of bus master device drivers do not support CD recordable devices.

Note: Some drivers are provided on the IBM CD-RW & DVD-ROM Software and User’s Guide CD.
