There is no essential difference between XP and Windows 2000 in this
respect. If you are worried about the outcome then backup the registry keys
before you make the changes, and to be doubly sure you could make a system
restore snapshot before you do anything.

Thanks Graham, your assistance is very much appreciated.
I've been to your URL and identified these keys in my registry. For
both
the primary and secondary IDE (0001,0002) there is a
"MasterIDDataCheckSum" entry. I have a DVD drive attached as slave to
each of these IDEs (and each has no DMA available). The fix you detail
is for Windows 2000. My OS is XP SP2. Will deleting both these lines
be
safe on my system.
Should I put both DVD drives on the same IDE as suggested by Baz (this
might slow my DVD to DVD copy?)

Just tried those fixes Graham. No result I'm afraid!! |
Also tried this one:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;817472
Still no result. I've searched my BIOS, can't find anywhere to request
DMA. Very frustrating!

Did you establish what the problem was with the system device? Could this
have been a third party IDE driver? If so, go back to the Windows XP driver.
You could try putting both devices on the same IDE port (don't forget to
change the jumpers to make one (the writer) master, the other (reader) slave
and get the BIOS to re-read the IDE devices) and this should not impinge on
performance when you get the DMA access working. The IDE driver sorts out
the traffic on the bus.

There actually wasn't a problem with a system device I think. That
comment I made was an entry in the BIOS that was "greyed out". I have
since found out that it relates to the parallel port and isn't relevant.
I could find no "switch" for DMA in the BIOS. This morning I re-cabled
the IDES to the best setup (two HD's on primary and 2 DVD's on
secondary). They were like that as a legacy of my original setup with 2
HD's and a CD-ROm, then I just added another DVD drive and never
seitched them. Made no difference to the DMA (didn't think it would),
but a good opportunity to fix things up I guess.
I'm a pit bull when I get a problem like this. I intend to keep working
on it. Can't have my son rip faster than me on his PIII...lol.

Repeating
You probably need the hacked firmware.
Burners are locked at 2x ripping under some agreement from the movie
studios.

better than 1X. No matter what ripping software I use I seem to be
limited to 1X (as seen on the indicator whilst the software is running).
So my rips take an unbelievably long time in comparison to his. Is there
some setting that could cause this?

Give this a try
Control Panel
Performance and Maintenance
System
Hardware
Device Manager
IDE ATA/Atapi Channel
Advance Setting
Transfer Mode should be DMA
