IDE Problems

OK then here goes......My IDE ports are currently set to
DMA (UDMA-5) mode, and all works fine until I want to
download a large file from the internet. Everytime it
downloads, it is corrupt! I can get around this problem
by setting my IDE to PIO mode and my downloads are
perfect, but the problem then is that my machine takes an
eternity to boot up. I did some testing to try to prove
my computer is OK by using my secondary hard drive and
installing Windows ME on it and it all works fine, so I
can only think it's a problem within XP home. Any
suggestions ?

Check to see that you have the latest IDE drivers for your motherboard. Some
drivers cause corruption. They are usually replaced pretty fast by corrected
drivers.

Glad to see I'm not alone.......

I've had the new ASUS A7NX8-E Deluxe motherboard with
Nvidia chipset on for approx 2 months now and I've
updated all the drivers apart from the IDE drivers, who'd
have thought that you need drivers for IDE.

I'm impressed with the new nv mixer as well...

Cheers,

How do you tell if you have the latest drivers? No matter what I do I
can not get dma on the secondary ide. only pio on the secondary ide.
Actually there are 2 settings under properties. Device(?) 0 and
Device(?) 1. The top 1 (device 0) is "dma if possible" and it is in
dma mode. The bottom 1 (device1) is "dma if possible" but is in pio
mode.

I've tried everything listed several times.

primary and secondary ide set to "dma if available",
uninstalled ide channels and rebooted,
updated 708a firmware,
ensured that dma is enabled in bios,
tried cable select,
tried slave and master,
tried master and slave,
tried to update drivers on ide channel.

I must be missing something. Any other suggestions?

I've a new Dell 8300, p4, 2.8ghz, 120 sata hd, winxp pro, dvd rom, and
I added a Plextor 708a 8x dvd writer.

Thanks. P.

When a devise on an IDE channel has issues, the IDE channel will reduce its
transfer rate for that device till the device operates properly. What you
have is an indication that one of the devices is faulting out.

Delete the secondary IDE channel from device manager. Reboot. Allow the
computer to re-detect the IDE channel. You will have to reboot again after
detection. It may solve your problem. Of course if the device connected it
truly problematical, you will soon be back where you are now.

Oops. Just read where you have done this already. Your device may be
defective and not reading the disk properly. Try a cheapo CD or DVD drive in
it's place. They can be had for about $25.00 now.
