The system applet of the Windows 2000/Windows XP Control Panel 
contains several options you can enable or disable for optimal capture 
performance. During capturing the drive should write as much data as 
possible and not spend time with software optimisations or checking for 
system changes. 
To access these options in Windows, click the Start menu. Under Settings 
click Control Panel, and double-click the System applet. In the window 
System Properties you can make the desired settings.

  Click on the Hardware tab, then on the Device Manager... button 
under Device Manager:  
In the list under IDE ATA/ATAPI Controller first click on Primary IDE 
Channel
 using the right mouse button and choose Properties from the 
context menu. Then go to the Further Settings tab.  
 
If two devices are shown, carry out the following settings for both devices.  
 
Pay attention to what appears in the Current transmission mode box at 
the bottom. If Ultra DMA mode is displayed, the correct setting is 
already active and you do not need to make any changes.  
If this is not the case, choose the DMA, if available setting from the 
Transmission mode list box. Ultra DMA mode will then appear after the 
computer has been restarted.  
Confirm with OK
 
Now click on Secondary IDE channel in the list with the right mouse 
button and carry out the same settings as for the primary IDE channel.  
 
You will have to restart your machine now for the new settings to take 
effect.
