Hard Drive DMA???

I'm trying to use my external ATI USB 2.0 TV Tuner on my 9860 but the tv tuner won't load. When I scan for compatibility I get a warning saying that DMA isn't enabled for all hard drives, even though the Primary IDE Channel has DMA enabled. I'm assuming this is a problem caused from using 2 hard drives as 1 under RAID 0. Any ideas?

is dma enabled for your optical drives. I would get this error on my all-in-wonder card sometimes. After re-installing the drivers for the tv tuner, I'd eventuall be able to get it going.

Where exactly would I be able to enable DMA for the optical drive? I don't have the option when I go to its Properties window.

You do not choose it from the CD/DVD properties. You have to check at the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers section of the device manager. In your case it should be under Primary IDE channel>Advanced Properties.

Yea, I figured that out a few days ago, but i still can't get the tv tuner to work on this notebook I got rid of all the DMA warnings except the one for the Promise 2+0 Stripe/RAID0 SCSI Disk Device. I'm guessing I'll have to try using it without RAID installed on the system some day.

Forgot to mention that the other DMA warnings where a result of the Card Reader, the moment i disabled it from BIOS the warnings stopped showing up. Don't really understand why ATI has to check those drives for DMA though
