All this confuses the hell out of me! :) I used this site for information: http://www.msi.com.tw/html/products/mainboard/mb_htm/mb_Intel_comparison_list.htm SiS Chipset Marketing Name Model Name 661FX 655 Max-FISR MS-6730 661FX+963 661FM-IL MS-6540G 661FX+963L 661FM-L MS-6540G 661FX/GX+964/L 661FM3-V (PCB 2.0) MS-7103v2.0 661FX+964 661FM3-V MS-7103 661FX+964 661FM2-V LSR/ILSR MS-7060 661FX+964 661FM2-ILSR MS-7060 661FX+964 661FM3-L MS-7082 661FX+964 661FM3-IL MS-7082 I assumed yours was 661FX/GX+964/L.

Hmmm... Still saying it can't find the component when I attempt the install.

Replace nospam with ollis for personal replies. THANKS. :)] Have you installed the WinXP updated mother board driver's pack? Either from the motherboard maker's site or the motherboard chop set site e.g Via/SIS/Nvidia. To check DMA mode download the free NeroInfoTool, http://www.cdspeed2000.com/go.php3?link=download.html can be run from inside the .zip file and check configuration tab.ALL drives should have DMA enabled. -- Free Windows/PC help, http://www.geocities.com/sheppola/trouble.html http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=88558

Well, this relates to the other problem I mentioned in this thread. [Did you get my e-mail?] Only, as suggested, I got Everest to give me a system summary and it says for the chip set: Motherboard Chipset: SiS661FX/GX The link in Everest then takes me to the SiS website. But, presumably, I'm not downloading the correct component. If, and I can't actually see an alternative, I download this one: http://www.sis.com/download/download_step1.php?id=155933 I get an error message when I try to install which says: "This system cannot detect the device. Please confirm the device is configured properly and then restart the set-up program." >To check DMA mode download the free NeroInfoTool, >http://www.cdspeed2000.com/go.php3?link=download.html Done. >can be run from inside the .zip file and check configuration tab.ALL >drives should have DMA enabled. All drives? There are two separate tree components: The first containing the Primary IDE Channel, split into two: Master and Slave - both have 'DMA on'. Then we have a separate USB Controller with two more in that extended tree, both called: USB Card Reader USB Device. No mention of DMA in these. -- Will Gortoa Running: OS W98SE/2.9GHZ processor/512Mb memory/40GB hard drive/Demon HomeOffice broadband through NAT router/Turnpike 6.05S mail-news reader [IMPORTANT!

No mention of DMA in >these. Ignore the USB.Just the hard drive/s and CD/DVD drives want to be in UDMA. Have you had a usb device on the system like a camera etc that may have left an old USB entry because the software has not been re-installed?
