    Dma settings when you have 2 burners

    I searched and read some threads on dma. I'm a little confused what mine should be set at as I have 2 burners. I noticed it has doubles of the primary, secondary ides. Is this because I have 2 burners, one internal, one external?

    This is a information of the primary ide, both have the same information.

    The two secondary ide have different info on them. Heres the 1st

    Heres the 2nd

    My ? is is this the way the dma should be set. I read about one being set as the master and one the slave but I'm not sure how I tell. If anyone can help me out on this I would appreciate it!

    Thanks in advance

      Thanks for the reply chewey. So what is "not good"? What do you mean by driver tab?



      AFAIK both burners are working OK, I haven't burnt with the internal for a while, but have been reading them, burning with external. The external was just replaced about a month ago, same burner I had previously.

        to the right of the advanced settings is a driver tab, that will give clues why your computer has gone schitzy? probably a funky ide driver

              Looks like your single 'internal' is OK.

              But is your 'external' connected via USB?

                  It's connected with the cables that came with the burner. USB I believe

                      This is what it should look like 'if' you had 2 internal burners.


                      But you only have 1 internal and the other is an external

                        Ok I unistalled the standard dual channel ide and rebooted. When the computer came back up it started finding all the new devices and hardware, lots of them. When I go back to my device manager the duals are back again with the two primary and two secondary. What do you suggest now?

                        Thanks!

                          I've never had an external burner so I would only have to guess that you would check that burners DMA setting under one of the USB device on your Device Manager.
