That's probably not going to work.  In order to stop a device from using 
DMA, open Device Manager within W2K, right click on the IDE port
the drive is connected to, select properties, select the advanced tab, 
and unselect DMA if it's there.  Reboot and give it a try.

In my experience with W2K, it tries to use DMA if it can on any device 
connected to the IDE ports.  That usually spells trouble for some CD 
burners.
