I have also installed blktool. blktool also give me the same answer:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo blktool /dev/sda dma
HDIO_GET_DMA: Inappropriate ioctl for device
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo blktool /dev/sda dma on
HDIO_SET_DMA: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Linux "Damn Small Linux" by using virtualbox on Win Xp shows the better
result.

It show the Timing cached reads: 1200 MB in 2.00 seconds.

an I can easily set DMA in DSL by using hdparm command

yet DSL uses kernel-2.4.x.x  which i think uses old IDE drivers because
it shows my HDD as '/dev/hda'
