To PCBUILD experts:

The setup:

 - Intel 200MHz MMX socket 7 cpu
 - Intel Triton TX motherbaord
    - BIOS Date: 10/14/97
    - BIOSName: Award
    - BIOS Version: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG
 - MS Windows '98 OS
 - 2.5G Seagate Ultra-ATA hard disk - primary IDE - master - FAT32
 - 2.7 Maxtor hard disk - secondary IDE - master - FAT16
 - Creative Labs Quad Speed CD-ROM - sound card IDE
 - Creative 16-bit sound card
 - internal modem

The problem:

  Enabling the checkbox of the DMA of the hard disk on the Device Manager --->
  Settings ---> Disk drives ---> Properties ---> Settings results in
  Windows '98 crashing. Already re-formatted and re-installed Win '98 twice.

Can anybody tell me why or point me to a website that explains this. Thanks
in advance!
