To disable DMA right click My Computer, click manage. In the window that
opens, click device manager in the right pane. Expand the IDE ATA/ATAPI
controllers listing, right click on Primary IDE Channel click properties, in
the properties window that opens click on the advanced settings tab and
change the Transfer mode option for each device listed, click ok. Rinse
lather and repeat the above steps for your secondary IDE channel as well.
