Hi! I've been having some wierd problems with my Toshiba SD-M 1212 DVD drive. The symptons are that the drive keeps ejecting the tray when I try to put a CD-R , -ROM , DVD-ROM or whatever media into it and the drive leaves the drive bay open it won't close the tray ,in other words the DVD drive is unusable.I have no idea whatsoever might cause this problem could PLEASE HELP!!! me... My Computer has the following hardware: Pentium 2 350Mhz 64 SDRAM Diamond Riva TNT Aureal Superquad Digital Operating system is Windows 2000 professional with service pack 2 and my IDE devices are primary IDE master: Seagate Medalist Pro 9140 (UDMA ticked) slave: none Secondary IDE master: Toshiba SD-M 1212 (UDMA ticked) slave: Hewlet-Packard 8100i (PIO mode)

Palos: My DVD drive ins't "toasted" it's just that the drive doesn't want to work with my hard drive in UDMA neither windows or dos(remind that there is no dos in win2000). I read from microsoft.com that in slow computers (which obviously refers to mine) devices that use UDMA simultaneously may have problems communicating in the same channel due to slow central processing unit... So I switched my HD back to PIO MODE now the DVD drive works fine...duh

What does that exactly mean? It's under Device Manager --> Mouse properties -->Advanced settings Input Buffer Length xxx packets. Meaning what? And ofcourse there is that Sample rate thing isn't that the same thing as in PS2 rate plus ?

Arrgh my HD is getting SLOOW.... Pls heelllpp...

Louissan: I have used my optical S/PDIF(Aureal vortex2)also for listening to music in w9x... (mp3 etc..) Can DVDGenie enable spdif in w2k that it would be possible again?

huh?...

The settings in my bios setup are: IDE ULTRADMA MODE:AUTO IDE0 MASTER PIO/DMA MODE:AUTO IDE0 SLAVE PIO/DMA MODE:AUTO IDE1 MASTER PIO/DMA MODE:AUTO IDE1 SLAVE PIO/DMA MODE:AUTO and optional settings for master and slave modes are: AUTO 0/0 1/0 2/0 3/1 4/2 btw...it didn't help refreshing my HD in bios...

YuppieScum: Yes UDMA is enabled in my bios. Funny though My DVD drive works happily in DMA mode and I'm sure that DMA would work for Cd-writer also but it brings unstabilities when burning Cd's. My bios revision is (1011 for ASUS p2B).But I'll try to detect my HD from Bios again and see if it brings any success... Note: !!!! below the setting that enables UDMA in my bios setup there are 4 settings that adjusts PIO configuration for drives connecting either the PRIMARY or the SECONDARY IDE controller if I made some changes to them would it have any effect on this?

Yes it says on Primary Ide channel setting -->Advanced settings Transfer mode :DMA if available Current Transfer mode:Pio Mode Here is my Configuration for IDE Channels: Primary IDE : MASTER:Seagate 9,1gb udma SLAVE: nothing in it.. Secondary IDE: MASTER: Toshiba SD-M1212 SLAVE: Hp 8100 cd-writer does this give you any ideas ?

d'oh... well I've never used THE F1 key so...didn't need to until now ;-) Well THE F1 key doesn't solve thing allways and since you Yuppie seem to be so smart why won't you help a little bit with this problem...concerning my HD(quote from my earlier post...) I have DMA enabled (DMA if available) in w2k and in BIOS (ASUS P2B latest bios) but it still says PIO MODE under PRIMARY IDE CONTROLLER In 98 my Hard disk worked fine in DMA mode... My HD is [seagate 9,1Gb model ST39140A] I supports UDMA33.... so any solutions to this??...I've come up nono so far...

Is people this ignorant ? or just not willing to answer this ? I'm sure someone does know what this means....

HI!...I do have DMA enabled but it still says PIO MODE under PRIMARY IDE CONTROLLER In 98 my Hard disk worked fine in DMA mode... My HD is Seagate 9,1Gb model ST39140A I supports UDMA33.... Does anyone have a solution to get DMA enabled for this drive except god ofcourse???

Hi ,has this anything to do with my problems using 3.75 drivers with rivaTNT viper board... My display card is using the same I/O out range and the same memory ranges also with my Intel 82443BX Pentium ® 2 processor to AGP controller. device manager still doesn't complain about a conflict between them...and system info says that status is OK? but it's odd when I uninstall my display adapter ,after that it starts complaining about those memory ranges and I/O :s . The values are: I/O out range used by: Intel 82443BX Pentium ® 2 proseccor to AGP controller 03C0-03DF 03BO-03BB Memory range 000A0000-000BFFFF used by: Intel 82443BX ....etc. I have tryed to uninstall both devices so that they would use different values without success... So is there a way to force them to use different values ? My system is: P2 350Mhz 64sdram mb ASUS P2b newest bios Riva TNT ( viper550 ) using drivers 3.75 Windows 2000 build 2195 (no evaluation periods)

one thing I dont understand is that you all advice to delete old drivers from x:\winnt\system32 but for me its windows\system32 is this because I upgraded my win98 to w2k ? would it be winnt\system32 if did a CLEAN INSTALL for w2k?

I have a problem in Quake2 with those 3.75 drivers...they just won't run fullscreen ... funny though because it runs all other OpenGL based games such as Halflife... I also Had a problem with the 3.69 drivers with the screensaver thing.. it rebooted every time... due to the setting in device manager check box which automatically boots if system crash...unchecking it just froze my system so better check it .

I just wanted know that is UDMA33 enabled by default in w2k?...
