Whilst investigating the cause of tearing on my new HTPC I found that DMA is not enabled for my DVD drive and this is obviously partially causing the problem. The IDE controller is set to 'DMA if available' but the NEC 3450 DVD drive is not playing ball. It's the slave on the primary channel, the master is a CD-Rom drive ( the HDD is SATA ).
Do I need to switch the two drives to get DMA working? or is it a problem with the drive or it's drivers?
Cheers
