you decrease the amount of time it takes to create your CD or DVD and increase
system performance. Enabling DMA also reduces disc-writing failures.
HP recommends enabling DMA on all internal IDE CD/DVD Writers and all hard
drives. DMA is not available on external HP drives; however, you can still improve
performance when using an HP external drive by enabling DMA on your hard
drive(s).
To enable DMA on HP CD/DVD drives and your computer's hard drives, follow the
procedures for your version of Windows.
