Enable DMA Modes
To enable DMA modes in Microsoft Small Business Server (SBS) 2000, perform the following steps:
- Install SBS 2000 using the first setup disk of the disk set.
NOTE: For more information on installing SBS 2000, click here.
- Install the hot fix.
NOTE: The hot fix can be found by searching the file library at https://support.dell.com for filename q260233_W2K_SP2_x86_en.exe. After installing the hot fix, SBS reports the IDE hard drive as running in Programmed Input/Output (PIO) mode. This is a cosmetic issue; the drive is operating in DMA mode.
- Continue with the installation of SBS 2000.
NOTE: Do not install service pack 2 before completing the entire SBS 2000 installation. If service pack 2 is installed, SBS 2000 will not install properly.
