Curley_Boy 0 Posted January 15, 2003 I'm having the ol 'Windows 2000/XP won't detect proper transfer speed of devices attached to 2nd IDE channel on a VIA system board' prob. Here is the registry key for my 2nd ide channel: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96A-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0001 The 2 values I'm interested in are: MasterDeviceTimingMode and MasterDeviceTimingModeAllowed (both dword) Assuming my hunch is correct what values in the data field will enable 'Multi-Word DMA Mode 2' transfer rates? (I think that is what it was anyhow!) Thanks in advance for any help given Share this post Link to post

fasteddie 0 Posted March 8, 2004 That's not quite correct... MasterDeviceTimingMode = 0x00002010 (8208) This is the setting for Ultra DMA Mode 2... The setting for Multi-Word DMA Mode 2 is 0x00000410 (1040) Share this post Link to post
