Ultra Dma Mode, second ide

Got a MSI Ultra 745 and on 1st Ide udma mode 5 is on as it should be. But on ide 2 i cant make it run udma mode 5. It just makes it to udma mode 2. The disks are IBM 180gxp 120gb and runs smoothly on udma 5 on ide 1. Downloaded latest ide drivers from SiS, still wont wrk. Got latest bios and are using smartdisk option in bios setup.
Help ?
Sire

Are you using an 80 pin ide cable on the secondary ide channel?

  • Ultra DMA mode 6

    OK, after numerous tries, I failed to boot from IDE3 with the moded bios 5.6 that let you use ide3 and ide4 as normal ide channels.  Now don't even ask me question about that, I don't want to here anything related to this.
     Now I have flashed again to the standard bios version 5.6.  I have my DVD-RW master on IDE2 (Ultra DMA mode2 = 33.33MBps = optimal) and my CD-RW as slave (multi word DMA mode 2 = 16.6 MBps= optimal ).  My hd is master on IDE1.  In my bios it says my hd is running in PIO mode 4, in windows xp it says it's running in Ultra DMA mode 5 (which I assume is UDMA100= not optimal).  Why can't a ATA133 certified motherboard and a ATA133 certified HD can't work at UDMA mode 6?
    I'm getting nervous here, I want my hd in UDMA mode 6!!!!!!
    Yes I use 80 wire cable.  And  my hd is alone on it's channel, nothing could stop it!
    Is it XP? MSI? me?!?

    Yes - the standard IDE ports are ATA-133/UDMA-6 compliant.  I don't know how to make WIN-XP show them as UDMA-6 but I'm sure someone else will.  It isn't really important however as current ATA-133 drives do not perform better than a good ATA-100 drive.

  • Ultra dma mode 5 does it matter?

    Hi
    If I connect one of my maxtor diamond 9 sata hardisks to the promise sata controller, the boot up information says the promise controller is using ultra dma mode 5. My question is what is the correct mode that a sata drive should use? Should it be ultra dma mode 6, or is the dma mode at all relevant for a sata drive?

    its fine it matters not at all when drives on the controller

  • How to enable Ultra DMA Mode 6?

    I've a Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Serial ATA HD. The highest mode I can achieve is Ultra ATA-100 (mode 5) and not the maximum support by Barracuda the Ultra ATA-133 (mode 6). How can I enable mode 6 in Windows XP?

    I know this is an old question and perhaps the technology has changed since it was discussed.  However, I too have been trying to enable Ultra DMA 6 on my Windows XP machine using two 300GB Maxtor Diamond 10 drives (SATA Ultra 16 150mb).  Well, I finally figured out that when I change On Chip ATA Operating Mode From Native Mode to Legacy Mode, the windows hardware manager now indicates that all drives are running in Ultra DMA 6.  The reality is that there is really no difference in the drive benchmarks when tested with Sandra.  The DMA 5 actually may be a bit faster.  What's the deal?????

  • K7N2 Delta2 - Multi-Word DMA Mode 2

    Well, I was having problems getting windows XP to access my Seagate SATA 120 Gig Hard Drive at anything other than Multi-Word DMA Mode 2.  Finally figured out what I had to do. After messing with cables and SATA connections and generally mucking around for several days, I decided, just for giggles, to enable RAID.    
    Did not want to run RAID configuration but it worked.  The listing in windows Device Manager now shows the drive as Ultra DMA Mode 6.  When you enable RAID in BIOS make sure to go in and enable it for SATA as well (consult manual).  When I rebooted it asked to hit F10 to set up RAID, this I ignored.  Finished booting into windows and new hardware wizard started up.  Inserted floppy disk (included in Motherboard bundle) with the NVIDIA raid drivers. That was all.  I expect that if you are experiencing similar problems with ATA disks, it might work there too.  Hmmm, maybe I will give that a try next! 
    I had sent a number of email to tech support and they never mentioned this, food for thought!

    Another update just came in from MSI support;
    Quote
    Would you please follow the steps below to verify?
    1.       connect to the SATA HDD to SATA1 on the MB;
    2.       boot system up and enter BIOS, Load Optimized defaults; set Integrated PeripheralsàOnboard DeviceàSerial ATAàEnabled;Save&exit setup;
    3.       enter OS, go to Device Manager, expand IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers, right click NVIDIA nForce2
    SATA Controller and select Properties,choose Primary Channel,then check what transfer mode the SATA HDD works at. We suggest you capture the picture and send it to us. Thanks!
    Well, since I was already connected to SATA1 I decided, why not.  Maybe third time is a charm (installing the NVIDA drivers that is).  So I downloaded the drivers from their link, installed, and rebooted.  I now have NVidia MCPS2S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.6) and NVidia MCPS2S Serial ATA Compatible Controller (v2.6) in the device manager under "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers".
    When I checked the details of the Serial ATA controller the Seagate drive shows up as Serial ATA DMA for transfer mode. When I checked the Parallel controller my IDE drive shows up as Ultra DMA 5 - Ultra 100 for transfer mode. Looks like all is good now and as it should be.
    NOTE: had to disable RAID on a reboot to get drive to show up in Windows...hmmm.  It worked what can I say!
    Thanks to the people at MSI support for convincing me to install the NVidia driver set again.   
    P.S. NVIDIA nForce2 System Drivers for MCP2S
    God I like it when a plan comes together!  Hooah! 

  • R61 Second HDD Bay DMA mode

    Hello,
    I'm using R61 to which I've replaced the DVD drive with an UltraBay adapter and a Western Digital 320GB HDD to expand my data storage. Everything is OK but the second HDD runs in Multi-Word DMA mode 2.
    I've done with both the latest Intel Chipset patch and Lenovo Max Storage patch on Windows Vista 32-bit. After those patches some SATA device drivers have changed to new ones, but ATA channel 0 controller runs still in Multi-Word DMA mode 2, which is a setting for ODD.
    I know that the controller for the UltraBay is PATA controller, so the SATA HDD in my UltraBay is converted to PATA mode by converting chip in the UltraBay adapter. But what I'm curious about is why it doesn't run in ATA DMA mode 4 or 5 set for HDD.
    After replacing ODD with a HDD in UltraBay, the ATA driver doesn't change the DMA mode from Multi-Word  DMA mode 2 to ATA mode 4 or 5.
    Anybody has the same problem or a solution to this?

    I know this is an old thread, but did you ever find the solution for this?  I have the same problem with my T61.  I can't get my WD Black SATA drive to transfer at anything above Multi-Word DMA 2 (16MB/sec).  It's incredibly annoying, and I can't seem to find much online about it.

  • Setting IDE device to DMA mode?

    Recently my DVD has been burning superslow. It takes 24 min to burn a full disc at 8x. It should be 8 min only! Then I saw that my Drive is in "PIO" mode in the hardware settings. I'm using WinXP Pro so in the device manager I tried looking in the IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers to change the DVDRW to DMA but it's already has "DMA if available" chosen.
    I tried looking in the BIOS and DMA is set to "AUTO".
    Anything else I can try? My MOBO is a MSI PM8M-V, VIA chipset...
    DVD drive is a BenQ 8x (older one forgot model).
    The only thing I can thing of is I updated the BIOS with MSI live but that was quite a while ago...
    Anything else I may have missed that is not DMA related that is causing the slow burn?  I'm just buring ISO images with Nero.

    I tried looking in the BIOS and DMA is set to "AUTO".
    Uninstall the IDE Channel in Device Manager on which the drive is installed (e.g. usually Secondary).  Restart and enter BIOS, set UDMA for that channel/drive to Disable.  Save and Exit BIOS.
    Boot into Windows normally, allow the controller channel and drive to be reinstalled, then restart again.  Enter BIOS, set UDMA back to Auto or Enable, Save and Exit BIOS.
    Hopefully this will clear/reset the registry flag that is forcing the driver to disable DMA.
    Also, leaving UDMA disabled in BIOS will still permit the drive to use DMA mode (Multi-Word DMA 2) as long as 'DMA if available' is selected in Device Manager, which is not as fast as UDMA, but hugely preferrable over PIO.

  • Ultra dma 133 to ultra dma 100 how much faster

    Hello all    just a real quick question gonna add a second hd to pc. I bought yesterday a maxtor 120 gb 7200rpm 8mb cache ultra dma 133 seek time 9.1, I haven't opened it yet :azn: I just an add at the same store for a western digital hd 120gb 7200rpm 8mb cache 8.9seek time only difference is its ultra dma 100 and only 79$ with an extra 60$ in mail in rebates so 19$. What I need some advice in is how much differnce is there between 133 and 100. I tried to google it but couldnt really find anything. So I'm asking my friends here :azn:  once thanks for all the help
     let me reiterate, what I wanted to know is there really any noticable difference between the 133 and 100 as far as for gaming, programs or just pulling up files. I know the 133 is faster but is it noticeable. Once again thanks for the advice and sorry for not being clearer in beganing of post

    UDMA disks support 133mhz. So does the IDE controller on ur mobo. However, the fastest IDE disks aren't nescesairy UDMA133. Cache size,  rotation speed and the ammount of platters are more important.
    Diffirenrences between the main brands (with same specs) are small.

  • Dma mode

    should I leave dma mode auto in bios and windows or set it in windows device manager from let bios select dma to picking ultra dma and leave auto in bios ??
    Its just that its seems really slow to transfer from cd to hdd
    Also the sata1/sata2 and sata3/sata4 dma tranfer, should tha tbe set to disabled or enabled.
    lol on last think my new antec truepower 550 watt EPS12V reports in core centre and bios this : [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 11.86.   My worry was the 12V, are those readings ok ?
    Thanks Phil

    why do you think the 12V gives this reading on a brand new psu ? :(   should I take it back ?
     I tried my antec trupower430 and that gets a reading of 11.98-12.02 on the 12v
    550 36a - 12v
    430 20a - 12v
    Quote
    Inside normal windows computing the ide drivers for sata drives has the dma enabled and overrides the bios setting as it dont communicate through bios.
    why does it in device manager say let bios select transfer rate ??  shoud I set this to serial ata for hdd and u/dma4 ultra 66 ? for cd and dvd player ???, or leave it let bios select tranfer mode   ??

  • Can I have a general daq event in visual basic while outputing in dma mode?

    Hardware: PCI-6711
    Software: Visual Basic 6.0
    NI-DAQ 6.9.3f3
    Windows 2000
    I can't get the GeneralDAQEvent_Fire subroutine to happen. I'm trying to output two synchronized waveforms on two channels at sampling rates that can be changed on the fly. To do this, I've set the clock source of the channels to be the GPCTR1. I output on a pulse train on the GPCTR1 and adjust the pulse widths to vary the frequency. I need to be able to switch to the new pulse width at a precise time so that the correct samples are output at the correct samplerate. I want to generate a general daq event which fires whenever a certain number of pulses (and thus samples) on the GPCTR1 have been output. I will
    then reset the event and output samplerate within the GeneralDAQEvent_Fire subroutine for the next section of samples. I need to output at up to 1 MSample/second, so I need to be using DMA mode. I have not read anywhere that DAQEvent 0 Aqcuired or Generated n Scans requires interrupt mode, am I wrong about this? I have set my Channel string to CTR1, does this reference the GPCTR1? I set the board, DAQTrigVal0 and enabled properties and then call the refresh method. Is there something else I should do?
    I have been reading the NIDAQ Function Reference Help and the NIDAQ for PC Reference manual and have not found a solution. Any suggestions? Also, where can I find info on what the ConfigureDaqEvent method is supposed to do?

    Roz,
    First of all, I think you will want to use DAQ Event 1 since you desire for a message to be sent after every N updates. This will be more efficient than removing the current message and adding a new message each time the event fires. Furthermore, DAQ Events 0-2 can all be used with DMA transfers. However, you will be unable to use a counter channel with DAQ Events 0-2. Instead you should use one of the analog output channel you are clocking with the counter's output.
    Good luck with your application.

  • GX600 cant change from PIO to DMA mode

    Hi
    I have a very irritating problem with my GX600.
    I have currently switched my OS from Vista to XP.
    My secondary IDE Channel is currently stuck in PIO Mode.(Which causes DVD's, Audio CD's and Burning to Lag terribly.)
    I have tried uninstalling the IDE channel but there's no success on reboot.
    Could someone please help with this problem.
    Thanks

    Quote from: mjohnny on 20-November-08, 16:55:00
    had a similar problem back then. WinXP Sp2. For some reason my 2nd hdd was set to PIO mode. I uninstalled it from the device manager, then restarted my system. After you log on to windows, it will reinstall  some host driver again. Then it will be set to DMA mode.
    Pardon for not being clear with the terms i used. I'm on a different OS now and I'm not using the old box anymore.
    I have tired this and it did not work...
    Does anyone have XP on the GX600?
    I will try and update the BIOS and im hoping it will work.

  • My PlextorPX-708A won't run in DMA mode

    My PlextorPX-708A won't run in DMA mode I've tried reinstalling it and this was also a fresh install of winXP with Service Pack1a, my other dvd dive which is made by shuttle and is older will run in DMA mode and PIO mode but the plextor DVd writer won't and when I use it in PIO mode music and videos play slow in it what is the problem, I have a MSI K7N2 Delta mobo and the two drives are hooked on the secondary IDE channel and I tried swapping both drives to slave or master What is the problem
    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi,
    Bobby: When you are booting and the machine detects your HD's and CD-ROM's sometimes the firmware version is shown along with the drive's ID details, press "Pause" on the keyboard if you don't get time to read it!
    Another way is to go Start>Settings>Control Panel> Double-click "System" then "Hardware" tab - then click "Device Manager" look for "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" in the list of hardware and then click on "+" on the left hand side - your CD-ROM drives should now be listed - right-click on the drive you want the info on, then down the menu to "Properties" then click on the "Details" tab - this should show you  the "Device ID" and hopefully the firmware version. (my apologies for writing this step-by-step guide but I though I'd include it just in case)  
    Or another way is explained on Plextor's site here:

  • Can't enable DMA mode with JMicron controller

    Working with this 975x is like pulling teeth. 
    Why does the secondary PATA port have to be the Jmicron POS?!  How can I get it to just use the intel controller?
    DMA won't work for my DVD drive hooked up to the secondary ATA.  I have it set to DMA if available, and it keeps using PIO mode.

    Quote from: dejanos on 21-November-06, 21:28:38
    I suggest that you read all other post about the JMicron issues where lots of things are explained .We have already discussed about showing DMA under SCSI.SCSI doesn't inform you about the DMA.It simply works,or not.
    So it's that simple,if your DVD/RW drive read an burn fast, then everything is OK. Don't worry about the DMA.
    Yes, I can confirm that also, for what it is worth. I set up my new board some days ago but hadn't really tested the DVD drive yet. Although I felt and suspected everything was normal, I was very concerned after seeing and reading the problem threads on these boards. I have now tested it with a full 4.7GB burn and it took 13-14 minutes on a 4x DVD+RW, which is completely normal. Also, on checking the Nero log I see it reports "DMA: OFF" which is clearly false, but which a lot of people are complaining/worried about. Copying between hard drives (see specs) 'seems' to go at the right speed too. Windows reports 2 minutes when I dragged 3.12Gb across (quick test to see time although I cancelled it half way - not sure of the maths but seems about right from experience)
    Obviously Nero (and probably other applications) are NOT able to detect the true access mode of IDE drives under the JMicron controller.

  • Problem: KT3 Ultra2 and DMA mode

    hi there,
    everytime i wanna make an image of a CD with nero or some other CDR progs, it takes years to finish it. i got only a tranfer rate of 800kb/s - 1.400 kb/s (btw: there is no copy protection...this happens even on normal data cds)
    i got my HDD and CDRom on IDE1 and my CDR and DVDRom on IDE2
    in winXP it tells me:
    IDE1:
    0: UltraDMA Mode 5 (Hdd)

    i tried to reinstall the latest via drivers but nothing worked.
    sometimes winXp tells me
    that IDE1 device 0 is running in udma 2 mode...but than on the next reboot it's again on pio mode.
    i checked the ide cables and changed the CDrom with the CDr and it show me UDMA2 now...but it didn't speed up the transfer rate...it still runs only with ~1.400kb/s :(
    maybe the ide cables are corrupt???
    apart from that i tried the latest bios drivers for my Mainboard but they didn't seem to solve that prob.
    are there any options to check and enable the DMA mode on both IDE channels?
    hope someone can help me

  • DVD running as Multiword DMA mode 2!

    I noticed since upgrading to my new system that both my CDR and DVD drives have been very slow. I'm talking 1 minute to copy a 50MB file for example! They are both running on the same P-ATA channel, the CDR is master, DVD is slave. In the device manager it reports the CDR is running in "UDMA Mode 2", but the DVD is running in "Multi-word DMA Mode 2". I beleive this must be the reason its all so slow. This was not a clean XP install, I just carried my drive over from my old intel system.
    Any ideas how I can get the DVD running in UDMA Mode 2?
    Thanks

    Can you think of another reason my optical drives have both gone horribly slow since I upgraded? :( I assume that installing the Intel inf files for this mobo would ensure that the correct drivers got used for the drives.
