HomePage 7 of 7: How to check your DMA status & reset it if necessary
Upon rebooting, if you watch near your PC's clock area, some notifications will pop up telling you it has discovered some new hardware. That is normal, as it is just re-detecting your Primary IDE Channel.
It may (mine did) tell you that you have to reboot again for it to be installed properly. Reboot again, and your all set!

Secondary IDE Channel (blue) - (Most disc drives have a limitation of UDMA 2 Mode, so thats as high as they will go, so don't freak out.)
