If the status is Started, you do not have a DMA bus master IDE controller
device driver installed.
If your computer does not have a DMA bus master IDE controller device
driver, go to the Web site for the manufacturer of your computer system board
and download and install the Windows NT 4.0 DMA device driver. The
instructions for installing the device driver are provided on the manufacturer’s
Web site.
Note:
Carefully read the instructions that come with your device driver. Some
versions of bus master device drivers do not support CD recordable
devices.
