Down8 0 Posted August 19, 2001 Not sure about your network problem, but if you want the best transfer rates from your CD to your HDD, then they should be on different chanels. It looks like they are both on the primary IDE from your picture. When you select 'DMA if available', and restart, does it return to PIO mode? If so, what kind of HDD do you have? -bZj Share this post Link to post
