Thanks again gld and Xayd, I'll just keep hammering away at this little nut 'til I crack it. I understand what you're saying Xayd, but they were both working perfectly before I screwed with the DMA setting, now I can't change it back for the problem drive cause I deleted it from my device manager list and with it hooked up I can't boot. It seems like Win is remebering that last time it was hooked up DMA was set and so it's going to use DMA still. Why oh why oh why can't windows be more transparent!?

This maybe a dumb question but would a registry hack be a possible solution. Where does win store it's hardware settings anyhow?

Thanks for taking the time to help out when it's all my own dumb fault.
