i've a question here. i've got an old 500mb quentum maverick,
and i just can't boot my machine when it's plugged in. 
i wanted to use it as a backup for a few personal files.... 

how would be the command to disable DMA in that single drive?
would something like adding "/dev/hdd=nodma" ok?

thanks!
