I was checking my PC settings using AIDA64 (supposed to be the successor for Everest - it basically shows you detailed hardware you currently have). For my ATA hard disk it shows the setting for DMA as "supported, disabled". But when I checked the windows setting I see that it is actually enabled. How can I find out which is correct? And if its disabled what do I do to enable it? Thanks for your help.

Edit: If you right-click on the screenshot - open in new window/save and then open it you can see a much bigger version. Please let me know if you have any problems seeing it.

Here are some screenshots for this:

I found the following information here. If you go to enable it, you will also be able to check if it is enabled.

-Hope this helps.

  1. Open the explorer (STRG+E)
  2. Right-click on “Computer” and click on “Manage”
  3. Click on “Device Manager”
  4. Uncollapse IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
  5. Right-click on any label where “Channel” is part of the name – Click on Properties
  6. Go to the Advanced Settings tab, under Device Properties check “Enable DMA”
