How do I enable DMA for my drive?

In Win95/98/ME the DMA settings can be found at: Start->Settings->System Control->System->Hardware->DVD/CD-Drives->(Name of the Drive)->Properties
There you should find a field called 'DMA'. There is a checkbox on the side of this entry. If 'DMA' is checked then everthing is fine. If not, check this box, close all programs and reboot the PC. After this DMA is active for this drive.

In WinXP/2000/2003 the DMA settings can be found at: Start->System Control->System->Hardware Manager->Device Manager->IDE ATA/ATAPI controller
