Having some issues, CRC errors/Ultra DMA/PIO mode

Hope this quote helps:"On new systems there are few issues with running Ultra DMA, because the hardware is all new and designed to run in Ultra DMA mode. With older systems, things are a bit more complex. In theory, new drives should be backwards compatible with older controllers, and putting an Ultra DMA drive on an older PC should cause it to automatically run in a slower mode, such as PIO mode 4. Unfortunately, certain motherboards don't function well when an Ultra DMA drive is connected, and this may result in lockups or errors. A BIOS upgrade from the motherboard manufacturer is a good idea, if you are able to do this. Otherwise, you may need to use a special Ultra DMA software utility (available from the drive manufacturer) to tell the hard disk not to try to run in Ultra DMA mode. The same utility can be used to enable Ultra DMA mode on a drive that is set not to use it. You should use the utility specific to whatever make of drive you have." from here:HDD Archives

Are you downloading from a disk or is it an online download? Also after reading over the original post take your DVD player out of ultra DMA but keep your hard drive in ultra DMA. DVD drives don't usually work right in ultra DMA. And to your question "I understand i am using a different rig, but its a better rig , so that should mean less problems right?" No new rigs usually mean more problems. *Stick Out Tongue
