When ATI gives you a warning about DMA not enabled for your hard disk, just remove the IDE controller: in My Computer's Properties(right click), Hardware, Device Manager, IDE controller, Primary\/Secondary IDE, uninstall (right click).<\/p>\n
It will want to restart, and after that it will reinstall the driver back on. DMA should be back.<\/p>\n
To check status of DMA or PIO mode, follow the same procedure but don't uninstall, it's in the property settings of the IDE controller.<\/p>\n
Took me 2 days to find this solution, thanks to google. (Keyword: "force dma").<\/p>\n
