Guennadi,
I have watched this and even if UDMA is not supported cleanly by the drive, the classic ATA-2 Multi-wrod DMA should be. There was a time in the past where WDC had some problems, but they have fixed most if not all with "modern" drives. I will be at WDC in two weeks, and I can raise the issues with them. Please spell them out completely.
Regards,

Then WHAT ON THE EARTH??? Mike, have you been able to recall what BIOS option turned DMA on? Shall I write to Andre Hedrick directly?
