Maybe Tom Brinkman or one of the other > hardware gurus knows for sure. Never used a laptop. I have a VIA chipset, and dma has always been enabled during various 8.0 or better installs for all drives. That infamous VIA bug, (much ado about nothin IMO) only possibly maybe rarely affects huge cross ide file transfers. So it couldn't possibly be involved here with one HDD. I also doubt that Mandrake in any way is responsible for the WinME problems. WinME is it's own problem. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay
