I was going to say that the only other reason for a DMA problem is usually a
fault on the mobo. Wish I'd heard about your other probs earlier mate. Really
does point to that newish mobo of yours. I had a problem with one of my drives
failing not long ago. Bought a new one only to find that that failed as well.
Turned out to be a faulty SATA socket on a brand new Mobo - Was I pi**ed or
what. I try ALL SATA combo's now before I jump to conclusions.
