Hmm, so if I get dma working I might have more luck? Just now searching about people that have had problems with dma turned up a reference that some of the seagate 7200 rpm drives have problems with ultradma, so I guess I need to be contacting them about this problem. (Certainly explains why every time I try enabling dma support under Windows I end up trashing the registry). Thanks, as usual, you're right there with all the answers on hand. I for one, definitely appreciate it. Gary Schrock root@eyelab.msu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
