Maybe that bug has come back? Check > bugzilla and report it if this is repeatable on your system. Its a brand new Mach Speed motherboard, with a DX-1400 athlon on it and has not required that option before. Even on the old 233MHZ P2 motherboard it wasn't required. That cdrom is rather slow as a reader, (10-12x maybe) so it may not be using dma in any event. It doesn't even have a tray, just a slot it spits the disk out of, or grabs it and finished pulling it in when you insert it gently. Besides, I think that should be reported as a media error as opposed to a space error, and all 4 disks passed the check it wanted to do initially. Took it around 10 minutes per disk to do that. >-- >William Hooper -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
