HELP! Win2k is running my Ultra66 drive in PIO mode!!!

Ummmm, I don't think you read my post correctly. Via 4-in-1 DOES NOT update the IDE controllers in Win2k. And yes, I have it already set to 'DMA if available,' however, it reverts back to PIO mode after a few moments of activity and after I get those 5 errors in event viewer. :disgust:
