I'm sure the hard drive does support DMA. I'm trying to get to the spec page of the HD 80GB 5400 MSR38 US to confirm that it does. The results of uname -a on my system are: 2.4.19-16mdk >As far as > your concerns about not > having proper drivers for your harddrive are highly > unlikely.

Is there any web page where I can confirm whether this hardware model is supported by my OS? -Prashant __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
