Hello people. This is Max asking a favour of those with good computing...heads. Again. Sorry.

I've decided to turn DMA on on my hard drive (and I suppose I might as well do it for my CD drive too), but I can't find out whether my machine supports DMA. I didn't get any paperwork with it because it came from B.B.M. Computers, which is a trustworthy company, but is a one-man operation.

I've searched the Internet, but I can't see that my hard drive manufacturers actually have a website. All I can find is a bunch of techno-babble.

So please, could someone exlain either how to find out whether my C:/ can support DMA, or just tell me. I'd be greatly greatful.

p.s. Just to make it that bit easier, I'll actually give the names of the drives.

The CD Drive is an 'X12 ATAPI CD-ROM'.
The Hard Disk is a 'GENERIC IDE DISK TYPE47'.
