Does anyone have this hotfix that MS mentions?

Unfortunately I do not have the luxery of emailing tech support or calling them. Does anyone have the hotfix that MS is referring to on this page? I can not enable DMA at all on my mobo. I am stuck at PIO4.

I can not enable DMA at all on my mobo. I am stuck at PIO4. It sucks. I have a VIA KT133 motherboard, W2K, and an IBM 75GXP. Can anyone help?

well, for one thing, you have to meet the requirements. If you don't have one of those enchanced cables, for example, a UDMA 66 cable, you couldn't get DMA enabled, etc. Same goes for ATA 100 I guess. Make sure you have that type of IDE cable first.
