Hello, I am new at this forum.
I want to switch my HD from PIO (default) to DMA, because it is faster.
I have W98 SE and if I try to switch it to DMA using the DMA-checkbox in the HD-properties, I get a message that I can damage the HD and they suggest to ask the HD-manufacture if it is save to do.
My problem is I don't know the manufacture of my HD.
My computer is sealed to protect my garantee, so I can't find out by opening my PC.
Is there a software-way to find out if my HD can use DMA?
