Effective means to test DMA

I have recently built up a new computer with some parts coming from my previous computer. Well, anyway, the jist of it is that I am getting some error message pop up about DMA not being enabled and to check my hard drives settings.

I have check and re-checked Device Manager settings as well as BIOS settings and everything seems to be fine. So I am curious if there is a way to test DMA somehow, either via an external program or whatnot.


Some hardware info incase:

AMD 3200+ A64
MSI K8N Neo2
1G DDR (OCZ or some such)

1x 40GB Seagate ATA-100
1x 80GB Seagate ATA-100
1x 200GB Seagate ATA-100


TIA,

CPU usage. Or Device manager. Check under the IDE controller section on the primary/secondary channel to see each drive's settings.

Simple rule, DMA=low CPU use, no DMA= 100% CPU
