I've been searching for a solution for 2 weeks, and all I've found is more people with the same problem. I got a Seagate UDMA 66 hard disk on a PC Chips M598LMR mobo (SiS 530 chipset). I just can't make the drive operate on DMA mode; even with the option "DMA if available" enabled, it only works on PIO mode. Yes, I have the special UDMA cable, that came with the mainboard. ACPI is enabled in BIOS as well. Nor Sis or PC Chips have put an XP compatible IDE driver available in their sites. I tried to use the newest mini-IDE drivers for SiS 630, but XP didn't accept it. I also downloaded the pack of hotfixes and patches from MS, unsuccesfully. Can someone help me to solve this riddle? Thank you all and sorry for my english.
